The person that I was renting a booth from, never gave me their EIN information for me to file my 1099. I only made $2,000 for the two months that I rented, but I paid $1225 in booth rental to them. I am unable to contact the person due to me leaving the space. Should I just claim it as an expense, or do I need to attempt to file a 1099? I don't want to get in trouble, but I am very frustrated. I tried to find them through the NC business.gov and I am unable to find them.
