How can you get a 1099 IRS form?

In order to get a 1099 IRS form, an individual or company can go online to the Internal Revenue Service and order the form via regular mail or download a copy. For employers who also need other forms, such as W-2, 1097 or 3921 forms, there is a special order form, notes the IRS site.

The 1099 IRS form is expected to arrive between seven and 15 days from the day that it is ordered, notes the IRS in 2015. The 1099-MISC form lists the total amount of income that has been given to contractor from one individual or one company. A contractor will receive one 1099-MISC for each individual or company that they work for as long as the amount is $600 or more in that year, reports Intuit's TurboTax.
