referrals to a colleague

Last year a had too much work and I

gave a colleague referrrals. She gave

me a referral fee back and I declared all

income from that. Do I have to give her

a 1099 form when I was just referring

work? I checkeed with the SDPD and

they said under my license with tham

that I could refer work out. thank you.

1099s are given out by those who pay money or its equivalent. Doesn't look like you did this.
