Note for future tax years: It's important to remember that you
still need to report all of your income even if you did not receive a
1099-MISC. In fact you never have to wait for those forms at all since you can simply report all of your income on the return under General Income. Those 1099 forms are really just confirmation of your business income records that you should be keeping for yourself. And entering those 1099s in the TT program is for your use only, the IRS only gets one total on the Sch C anyway.
How do you know if they are even correct if you don't keep good records? You would need proof to contest an incorrect number on one of those forms since errors do happen. What if a 1099 said you earned $100,000 instead of $10,000? How could you prove it otherwise?
