Thank you so much for this super helpful response! I will contact the airline. If they do, in fact, send us a 1099MISC that reports the entire amount (for airmiles and trip), do you still think we would be able to reasonably only claim the $11,200 this year as taxable income and defer the remaining $$ to 2022? I worry about a discrepancy between our records and those received by the IRS, but I want to do this correctly. (Also, we will not actually be able to take the trip, unfortunately, due to the pandemic and an unvaccinated toddler. I presume, though, that we will still need to pay taxes on the trip, regardless of when we do so.)
