If this was your first year getting a 1099, then there might be a small chance that you could get away with just this year's 1099.....HOWEVER, since you have been 1099'd for 2 years now, then the mortgage lender may request tax returns before extending a mortgage.

I always knew this was a common problem in the real estate space and I was always curious as to what was the underlying issue.
