I should clarify. The issue isn't whether to report the income, it's that it won't be itemized as 1099 income.

A customer of mine calls me about two weeks ago telling me that he will be sending me a 1099. That's fine except that these are required to be sent by 1/31 and the 1098 file with the IRS at some time in February. So it's late. Moreover, he's still not sent it so I don't have the info to put into my income report for my schedule C. If I don't report the 1099 income, file my taxes and then he decides to send it, it will look like I omitted it from the schedule C report and may very well get a notice from the IRS for underreporting. Since I file electronically, I need to get this done tomorrow or the next day. Any accountants out there (current or former) who can shed some light on this dilemma? Thanks.
