I have found a lot of companies just don't send out 1099s. Last year there were close to 20 companies that I should have gotten a 1099 from and I think I actually got 4 or 5 of them.

For me the easiest way to do is keep a spreadsheet. Every check you get (or payment via epass, wire or whatever) you log it into your spreadsheet. Then at the end of the year adding it up takes 5 minutes.

Make a second spreadsheet and keep track of every dollar you spend on business stuff. You can claim everything on your return, but if you ever get audited they will want to see some kind of receipt or proof that you spent that money so you will want to make sure to keep your receipts/invoices/credit card statements or whatever proof you have as the year goes by.
