If a publisher has not issued, or is denying you a 1099, then you can file a complaint on that publisher. As of February 17th, there are two ways to do it. You can call their offices at 1-800-829-4933 and request the Tax Fraud office to make a verbal complaint. Or you can go to irs.gov and in the search bar type in Form 3949A. Fill this out and send it to the IRS.
This information is readily available through the IRS.
ETA: A 1099 is required if you earned more than $10.00 in royalty in the calendar year, and a publisher is required to report earnings if they earned more than $600.00 in that same calendar year.
