A very large quantity of 1099-MISC's from wholesaling
Question for you guys!
Some background...
- I know when you sell a house you take title to, the title company generates a 1099-S, and that sales amount will need to match a gross figure on a tax return (e.g. an install sale amount, a sales amount on the Schedule D, etc)
- However a new title company I am using, when it comes to assigning a contract or wholesaling a house (AKA I take a fee like a commission, and DO NOT not close on the property), is issuing 1099 MISC forms for every single assignment transaction. Every single one. I am OK with this, as my gross receipts on my Schedule C (for my pass through LLC that does wholesaling / assignments) will be equal to or greater than what's on the 1099 MISC's. The SSN/EIN/other data should all match. We're all good there.
The question....
- So if I close 60 assignment transactions with them in one calendar year, that will literally result in 60 1099 MISC's being generated. Is this a problem of any sort? The math will add up, as I report all my income, but will it make any IRS computers say "oh ****, this guy has 60 1099 MISC's! ERROR". Is this an audit flag? Has anyone ever seen this type of situation before?
Thanks for any feedback in advance

It does not create any issues, but their practice is uncommon. Most companies will aggregate. Either way, no downside for you.
