By Business & Finance Last updated Sunday, April/14/2024

1). Call the government agency with which you contracted. Contact information is usually found on the contract you signed or on payment documents, such as invoices. You can also go to the government agency's website for contact information.
2). Tell a representative you are a contractor and need a copy of your 1099-MISC form. She will transfer you to the appropriate department.
3). Provide your name, Social Security number, Commercial And Government Entity, or CAGE, code, Merchant Class Code and the project number, as applicable. Tell the representative if your mailing address has changed, and provide the new address. If your address is the same, he will send the 1099-MISC form to the address on file.
4). Wait one to four weeks to receive the 1099-MISC form.
