I'm really lucky that they give me a statement of total meals served, total reimbursed, and total NOT reimbursed. My 1099 does NOT include the amount for my own children. That's in addition to the 1099. The 1099 includes our subsidy payments as well. So if they aren't required to just give you a statement....do they have to if you request one?
