You are supposed to report the income you earned. It does
not matter even if you never receive a single 1099.

If they did not send you a 1099 then that is their problem
not yours.

It is up to you to keep accurate records, it is not their
responsibility to keep it for you. That is why it is called
self-employed. Look out for yourself because no one else
will.

As far as your tax software, all that matters is that the
total sales reflects the correct number. Do not get hung up
on how much from 1099's and how much not reported on 1099's.
The IRS does not care and neither should you. Just report
the correct total.

It sounds to me like you're trying to satisfy some computer.
If you're not smarter than the computer, it's not a good
idea to trust your taxes to it.

Include all the money you earned as being self-employed on
line 1 of Schedule C whether or not you got a Form 1099-MISC
and don't worry about the fact that some of them have not
complied with the tax law. That is not your problem-they
will have to deal with it. You report all your income as I
described above and you will have done what is required of
you.

I'm self-employed and a number of clients did not mail me a
1099-MISC (for jobs under 4k).

Where do I enter their payments?
Should I fill them out as 1099-MISC forms anyway?

As of now I was adding them all up and entering them as one
number under "receipts or sales not reported on form
1099-MISC"

But I don't know if this is correct and there is no time to
have them send the forms out now (seeing how it's April 14).

What should I do?
