Where's my 1099 at MyFonts?

I can’t seem to figure out where to find my 1099 tax form on MyFonts. I’ve reached out to them, but it’s been more frustrating than helpful, so I’m hoping someone here can help me.

Thanks

    I have the same question, and I'm surprised no one has answered it.
    I suppose this mostly affects US residents, but getting a straight answer from MonoType feels like an exercise in futility.
    From what I understand, MonoType does not combine MyFonts and MonoType royalties into a single 1099 form. Last year, the IRS penalized me for assuming the MonoType 1099 form covered MyFonts. This year, once again, MonoType has sent me another 1099 form, but MyFonts has not. I can't find downloadable 1099 forms on either the MonoType or MyFonts websites, and as I said, reaching out to them has not helped.
    Can anyone help clarify this?

    If you don't receive a 1099 through no fault of your own, you have to file Form 4852: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4852.pdf. This gets you off the hook for fines and such.

    Thank you Corey and Scott-Martin for you help. It turned out that my account was on hold because my payment setup was incorrect. I feel a little dumb, but at least it’s all figured out.
