1099 is a tax form that reports any income you received during the previous year that wasn’t from a regular job. If you’re self-employed, run a side business, or receive income from investments, you’re required to file 1099. Missing 1099 can have serious consequences for both the recipient and the filer. If you miss the 1099, the IRS won’t have a record of the income you received, which can result in a tax liability. If the IRS discovers that you received income that wasn’t reported, they may assess penalties, fines, and interest on the outstanding tax amount according to TurboTax.
