1099 for overseas work?

[jenwilhelm]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Nevada

Hi all,

In 2012 I did some web development work for a company in London, UK (while living in the US). I haven't received a 1099 form in the mail from them yet, but I'm not sure if I should expect to since they're a non-US company. Do I need to ask this company for a 1099, and if not, what form should I request from them?

Thanks so much!

A 1099 is never needed to report the income on your tax return. Just put the amount on your return.

You don't submit the 1099's with your return either. They're purely informational as to what you have been paid (informational to you and also to the IRS).

Oh this is great to know, thank you both!

Sometimes, there is withholding listed on the 1099. If so, it needs to be submitted with the return.
