If you are looking for 1099s from earlier years, you can contact the IRS and order a “wage and income transcript”. The transcript should include all of the income that you had as long as it was reported to the IRS. All you need to do is fill out a Form 4506-T and mail or fax it off to the IRS.
What information does your 1099 tell you?
A 1099 Form reports income from self employment earnings, interest and dividends, government payments, and more.
Form 1099-S is generally provided by a title company after the sale of real estate. If there was a property sale this year, contact the title company that you closed with to see if the filed a Form 1099-S.
How do I get a 1099 for my business?
You can also order printed 1099 forms directly from QuickBooks or get them from an office supply store. Before preparing the form, you’ll need to collect W-9 tax forms, which is the equivalent of the W-4 forms that employees complete.

Using this as a normal business practice will give you the vendor’s mailing information, Tax ID number, and also require them to indicate if they are a corporation or not (saving you the headache of sending them a 1099 next year). You can download a W-9 here.
When do I have to Mail my 1099s to the IRS?
Deadlines to IRS for all other 1099s. For Forms 1099-MISC, 1099-DIV, 1099-INT, and 1099-R, business owners have to compile all of the 1099s and MAIL them (if you choose to use MAIL) to the IRS with a Form 1096 by March 1st this year (due to February 28th falling on a weekend).
What do I need to know about 1099 MISC form?
If you’re a business owner, the 1099-MISC form is how you’ll report payments made to freelancers and independent contractors. Employees do not receive 1099 forms; they receive W-2s. Both of these forms are considered “information returns,” but they serve different functions.
