How to Get Your 1099 Wage Statement for 2009
Form 1099 is a common IRS tax form that comes in many different varieties. A common 1099 form used to report wages to contractors is Form 1099 Misc. To obtain copies of past 1099 forms, an individual can go back to the business that paid the contractor for services during that tax year, or go through the Internal Revenue Service if a paper return was filed.

Tips & Warnings
If you filed taxes electronically, a 1099 form will not be on file with the IRS. Form 4506 will only be able to provide the information if a paper return with documents was sent during the 2009 tax year.
Do not send IRS Form 4506-T. While it is free of charge, this form will only provide a transcript of the return and no supporting documents.
