Do I still can deduct the cost without file form 1099MISC

[Gary Li]

I hired several persons/contractors to do the painting, landscaping, cleaning and maintainance, but I don't have their SSN or TIN, so I did not send them form 1099MISC, do I still can deduct all those costs from the rental incomes on my tax return this year?

Sam W.,

As was said above. If you are a landlord only you do not have to issue a 1099-MISC. Although I highly recommend it. It is one less thing to be audited.

Not the LLC does not have to issue a 1099 in regard to the rental property, again however, it is recommended.
