Snappy, my accountant agrees with Montrose. You don’t have to have every 1099 if you can’t get it, but the amounts do have to match. Otherwise the IRS will think something is fishy and start an audit.
Also, when the amount is less than $300 or so (I forget the exact amount) the employer is not obligated to file a 1099 at all. But theoretically you are obligated to report it as income.
I’ve never had any problem getting a 1099 (or a revised 1099) from an employer. They are usually very snappy. I have had trouble getting them from banks and coops.
Also, I should have said if you rent and work out of your place; a certain percentage of rent, electricity and telephone can be deducted.
Not sure what it is. Again ask an accountant.
Re: 1099. If you are a freelancer I would highly recommend that you pay quarterly taxes or be deligent about saving a set amount every month to pay the tax man. You don’t want to sit there on April 15th wondering where you’re going to get the money. (I lived and learned)
Also, you can deduct alot of things. Ask your accountant.
Supplies, transportation, meals (yes, a percentage), travel, lodging, marketing, telephone, gas for vehicle, etc. Save all receipts, and if it’s business related :-), you can deduct it.

I somehow doubt my friend saved a damned thing! He doesn’t have an accountant, but I’ll tell him to look into those deductions.
