Hi everyone. Ashley Old, Case manager at Bright Futures Families Surrogacy, here with your Ask a Surrogate Expert question. This week's question is does your surrogacy agency send out 1099s to your surrogates? No, our agency does not issue 1099s to surrogates. Surrogacy compensation is generally considered a reimbursement rather than earned income, but always we recommend checking with a tax professional for guidance based on your specific situation. Thanks for the great question.
