Retirement tax questions

What kind of 1099?  There are over a dozen kinds, 1099G,  1099R,  1099NEC, etc,  you have  to contact the issuer and give them your address.  

If it is for a 1099NEC for self employment you don't need to get the actual 1099NEC to report your income.  You can enter it as Cash or General income from your own records.
