Hello, I'm revisiting this old subject from 2023 because my new broker DOES include in my 1099NEC the income that I DID NOT receive that was paid out directly to my referral partners. I understand that I now need to deduct this (based on looking back through the notes of this conversation), but my question is, "am I at a tax disadvantage because my broker is doing it this way?" I'm confused why other former brokers I've worked for did not do this, but this one is. TIA for any feedback!!
