the following items.
a. Educator expenses.
b. IRA deduction.
c. Student loan interest deduction.

Sorry my bad. I thought you were referring to regular school tuition like grade school.

There are definitely deductions for college education.

There are tax credits for college tuition, too.

It was suggested to me to wait a while and get a tax transcript. When I did that it seemed like no 1099s were issued.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Tax transcript is not the same as an earnings and wage transcript.

I probably got the exact terminology wrong.

There is a transcript that is supposed to show all W2s and 1099s issued (also K-1s?).

Sounds wrong to me.
If you sold them a ticket, give them a sales receipt. Then the income on sales is your problem.
If they reimbursed you (approximately) the cost of a ticket, it's a wash - not income for you.

They paid you... Not the airline. I don't believe this would fall in to reimburse expenses. They paid you as a travel agent.
If you made income on the deal it's reportable. If you lost money, report the loss. (Allocate expenses)

Doesn't sound like a 1099 issue. If anything maybe just for the upsale on the ticket but I doubt you're talking about $600 in a year.

Sounds right.  Pick up the income and show a corresponding expense for your cost.

How much of that can be taken off,  what percentage of 1099s can be taken off for expenses ?

When you have 1099 income, you can file a ?schedule C? that has place to deduct business expenses.

The cost of the ticket. (COGS)
Computer expenses...
Did you drive to the office? Auto expenses...
