April 14th is coming up and I still havent gotten any 1099 forms or w4 forms from Google yet. I even submitted the automated form for a second one and still nothing. What am I supposed to do??
 
in Italy we must compile it by ourselves..
It's a document (don't know how to say in english, maybe tax form) in which we auto-declare the incomes, so we pay taxes in the amount italian state decides year by year (it's quite a bit complicated here....)
 
If you don't make over $600 you don't get one.

And even if you never get one despite making more than thay, all the records of the payments you received are on the AdSense website. Just use those numbers. You don't need the 1099. YT only send them because it's a federal obligation.
 
I made way more than 600. It's my first time filing taxes so I don't know what I'm doing. So do I just give the tax person my numbers? She told me I needed the 1099
 
I've searched this topic a lot (though I don't need to file taxes for YT earnings 'till next year so I don't have personal experience) so I've read a ton of threads about people asking about their missing 1099 or what to do with it (usually confused by online tax software like TurboTax or whatever which makes it seem like you need some sort of code on the 1099 when you actually don't).

Every response to these threads has been that no you don't actually need the 1099. You simply report your income. The 1099 summarizes it for you, but if you've been recording the payments you've received (or simply check the payment history with your bank or in AdSense or whatever), you have all the information you're supposed to report.

Now this is assuming you're reporting YT earnings as personal/business income. If you've got some corporation set-up or whatever I have no idea about any of that.
