I sold a house last year, but never received a 1099-S. I've read that it should come from the closing agent, but more specifically its said your RE agent, your title company, or your mortgage company. So which is right? I live in IL if that makes the difference. I called my mortgage company and realtor so far - both of them seemed to act as if they didn't know what a 1099-S was (scarey). I have yet to get in touch with the closing company...they don't seem to want to answer the phone or return my calls. My thought is that it should probably come from them, but I'm not sure. I also think they may not have sent it merely because of the dollar value of my transaction, but it would certainly be nice to confirm this. If the IRS got it, I want to have a copy of it as well. Thanks
