Google AdSense: how to download a copy of 1099 form
How to download 1099 Misc on Google Adsense website to file taxes?
I travel about 5 or 6 months per year and getting mail is kind of complicated thing (i mean a physical mail, it looks like a hard copy of the junk folder of your gmail box).
My ex-wife was taking care of all my mail for many years, but in 2011 she managed to loose it.
Trying to make a list of all of the companies who i have affiliate with and who may send 1099 to me, I forgot about the biggest one…. Google Adsense!
Google Adsense is the main source of my income. I assumed that Google kind of related to internet so in 2011 I can download a copy of my 1099 form right from the Google Adsense website.
Nope! The biggest internet company, The Google, can only mailed it to you. Google does not have anything to allow publishers to download a copy of 1099 form!
I used the amount recorded on my Google Adsense account to figure out how much I actually got paid in 2010 for the tax purposes.
Well, Google, thanks for helping to make all that money, but… If you don’t have anyone who can get this done, hire me! It will cost you only a few dozen of Heineken, few cartons of Marlboro Menthol and some food but you won’t look so pathetic in the next year, when people will come to Google Adsense website to download 1099 form for 2012…
