Wherefore Art Thou, 1099?
The FRS, bless their organized hearts, actually makes finding your 1099 a breeze. There are two main paths you can take, depending on your preference for human interaction (or lack thereof).
Tip: Don’t skip — flow matters.
The Digital Dig: For those who like things sleek and modern, head to the FRS Online portal ([FRS login page]). Once you've logged in (because who doesn't love a good password adventure?), your 1099 will be waiting for you, ready to be downloaded and printed at your leisure.
The Snail Mail Saga: If you prefer the thrill of the postman's whistle (or the satisfying thunk of a mailbox overflowing with important documents), you can simply wait. The FRS will kindly send you a paper copy of your 1099 by the end of January, assuming they haven't mistaken you for a pirate on a deserted island (which, hey, no judgement there).
Pro Tip: Want to avoid the suspense? Sign up for electronic delivery within your FRS Online account. This way, you'll get notified as soon as your 1099 is ready to download, saving you valuable nail-biting time.
Tip: Keep the flow, don’t jump randomly.
