It’s possible that you might have received income during the course of the year that’s not reported on any of these forms. For example, someone may have paid you $500 for work. This doesn’t require that the company or individual submit a 1099-MISC form to you or on your behalf because the threshold is $600 as of 2017. Regardless, you are required to report and pay taxes on that income. This includes income from foreign financial investments or rental income.
