Hi all,

I'm consulting to a small 2-person company based in Florida. They haven't sent me a 1099 form. Followed-up with them and there was no response. How can I file taxes without this information?

Many thanks

If you have records for how much you received from the client, you do not need a Form 1099-NEC. You can enter the amount as cash income from self-employment.

Thank you for the super quick response!

Yes - I know exactly how much I was paid (it's all in one check). When I filed last year, I remember having to enter the 1099 per company I was consulting to, there's an option to just enter cash income from self-employment? I don't remember seeing it but I also didn't have the need last year.

In the Desktop Home & Business version, enter income as General income. You don't need to get a 1099NEC or 1099Misc or 1099K. Even if you did you can enter all your income as Cash under General. Only the total goes to Schedule C line 1.
