should o/o receive 1099 from all brokers?

No one will touch this question. ask a tax person. Sorry.

 

I did a little digging and based on information from several different financial service companies and the IRS, the one broker you stated did not send a 1099 is correct. Payment for freight does not require a broker to submit a 1099: http://www.steelheadfinance.com/2011/07/brokers-1099-cost-time-risk-savings

To answer your 2nd question - in a nutshell, yes, they're CYA.

 

Corporations do not have to send out 1099 but do report the money to the IRS......also you need to make sure your 1099s are correct we get some that are less than what we did and one year we had one that was over $5,800 more than what it should have been make sure your not paying taxes on money you never got. That's a good reason to do good book keeping

 

You should keep up with how much money you've been paid as some brokers report all money they paid you including quick pay fees which you can deduct.

 

So just call that broker and tell them to send ya the $5,800 check to make up for it lol....
