Who you gonna call?

Ghostbusters? No, they won't help.

So, a previous employer owes me my 1099. I cannot file my taxes because they have failed to get this printed. Who do I call to get this rectified? Obviously, my countless phone calls, text, and emails are not going to push them to print my 1099. According to the IRS, they had until 1/31 to get it in the mail to me. According to the previous employer, they are having server issues and have not been able to get them printed.

A 1099 is not submitted to the IRS like a W2. It is used for your information only. You are suppose to keep good records. You can file your taxes based on your records.

I know how much that I made as I saved all of my check stubs, but I thought that I had to have my 1099. If that's the case then, ####! I could have filed a month ago.

1099s are filed with the government.

Well dammit. Now I don't know what to do. I attempted to call the IRS only to get placed on hold for 20 minutes. I'll try again tonight.

There are some exemptions, but for the most part, 1099s are reported.

Instructions for #Form 1099-MISC (2012)

I was planning on reporting it. I'd assume that my ex-employer would as well to cover his ass in his losses for the year.

It says right on mine. "This information is reported to the IRS".

Been there done that... You must file an official complait with IRS at which time the IRS will send him a letter giving him 30 day to comply after which they will schedule a hearing for him to explain why he has not sent it out.
total elasped time ... about 6 month.. You will probably have it by then.

Fab. I got an email a few hours after posting this stating that I would have it by the end of the week. If I do not, then I'll be filing that complaint. I'm assuming that the rest of the former employees will be doing the same.
