What happens if a client doesn’t send me a 1099?

If a client does not send you a form 1099-NEC for your services, you should report the amount received using your own records.

You report the income you received in cash, checks or bank transfers or without a 1099-NEC as self-employed income under Other self-employed income.

In business income, just under Type of Income, click on Add Income for this work
On the next page, click on the radio button next to Other Self-employed Income
Click Continue to enter your income received in cash, checks or bank transfers, or without a form 1099-NEC.

If you have expenses related to this business, you can deduct them.
