Hi guys,

do I really need to obtain the form 1099 for the AOS?? And if so, how do I get this form? Isnt it enough to just have the most recent tax transcript and W2???

Thanks Isabel

I think, if you submit IRS transcripts, then form 1099 and W-2 are not needed. I am telling you what I will do. I will submit the IRS transcripts plus W-2s.

Are you sure there even *are* 1099s? If someone has W-2s they most usually don't also have 1099s (it's just a different tool for reporting income).

But I thought, too, that the transcript covered the need for the tax return attachments?

meauxna,

Without going to the web to refresh my memory, I think 1099s are used to report a number of things including income from sources other than employment, such as interest income from bank accounts.

Yes, 1099s report income like interest, dividends, etc...they have no correlation to the W-2s. I included both my W-2s and 1099s with the tax transcripts I submitted.

You shouldn't have to get the form from anywhere...if applicable, it should have been mailed to you at "tax time" by whomever should have issued it (e.g. bank) and it would have been attached to your tax return just as the W-2 was. If you no longer have it, I presume you can request a copy from the bank that would have issued it.

hi there,

thank you very much for this information. I did know that the 1099 form lists different incomes than the W2's. But thats it. So now I know.

1099 are used to report income from other sources such as sub contract work etc. I know this, because I am sub contractor and I get those every year.

1099 forms should be retained by the issuing agency/employer/institution for a period of no less than 3 years, also.
