I was under the assumption I dont need to provide my kid a 1099 for working on our farm. Legitimate work was done.. Obviously I would like to deduct this expense ($7k for 2023 filed an extension). Current tax preparer says I need the 1099 for them. Should I pay the fee and file the 1099 late? Also what do you recommend for 2024. Thanks
