Seems like you tried to cram too much into the  subject box.  You could have added details in the text box below it.  Are you saying you tried to purchases a house and lost out to another buyer, but the seller kept your $5000 earnest money deposit?  And you want to know if you should issue a 1099 to that seller who kept your deposit?  Why do you think you need to do that?  1099's are issued by a business or a financial institution.  And not sure why the end of your post says "SSI."  Why did you mention SSI?  What are you trying to do?

I assume you mean that you do not have the seller's SSN (Social Security Number). You don't need the seller's SSN because, as xmasbaby0 said, you do not issue a 1099 for a lost deposit. There is nothing more that you have to do.

sadly you get no deduction for the lost deposit.
