Whoever suggested to put the estimated income on form 1040 line 21 Other Income you are asking for trouble,
Since you are self-employed it goes on Sch: C line 1, Income
and then you use all your expenses
If you net down below $0.00 you do not have to pay social security tax on that,
but if you end up with a Profit you will pay self-employment tax at the rate of 15.3%.
The 1099's were suppose to be sent out, but a lot of companies do not, and the IRS expects you to be honest in figuring your Settlements that you recieved from the company your leased on to.
Since you have not gotten any infomation on your income and not sure what the extimate is. do not leave it off the Return at all, try figuring it out.
What you can do is fill out Federal Form 3949, which is called a Information Referral to file a complaint against that company, after which the IRS will consider investigation of them.
