The 1099's include nothing about what we spent. They only have what we made (commission) and what we earned for free. It is just an earnings statement and the products that we earned for promotions count as income.
I am not sure if this will help, but maybe you could call home office and explain about your hard drive crashing and see if they can pull a report on all of your supply/sample/replacement parts/kit enhancement etc orders that you placed for 2008. Worth a shot at least!!
Good luck!!

As long as you made over $600 you should be getting yours soon. I got mine today as well and I know others that got theirs last week.
If you didn't have $600 in commission then the best thing to do is go to Consultants Corner and print out the Month End commission report for each month. That way you can still prove your income.
