Some colleges require Form 1099, but what if I (or my parents) don’t have any? Why isn’t there a substitute like there is for the student’s W-2’s? Or like a non-tax filer statement? I just find it strange that it is "required’ even though there’s a possibility that the student doesn’t have the forms.
Consider it a default question. Don’t worry… if you don’t have one, it doesn’t matter. Lots of people don’t have a 1099.
