I got a couple referral bonuses as well as a paperless bonus in 2019. The value is far less than $600, but I'd rather avoid filing an amended tax return later. Has anybody gotten one yet? (And if you have, are you able to see it on your account anywhere?) Thanks!

I did get a 1099-MISC for the Sapphire Banking bonus, they credited it against my checking account.
$600 non-cash reward. Plus 58 cents in interest
I got one last week as well, for my $200 checking bonus. Since it's under $600 I didn't bother including it.

Presumably, as it's a 1099, it was also reported to the IRS?

+1.
The $600 is they don't have to generate the 1099, but if they do, the IRS has it. You're actually supposed to pay taxes on it anyway but in practice if the IRS doesn't know about it they aren't going to go hunting for small dollar amounts like this. It is admittedly illegal but it's so prevalent it's not like they don't know it's happening all the time probably by half or more of Americans.
The fact here though is they do know about it: it should be included.
I got a 1099 from Alliant for interest, all of 12.58. That went into Turbotax this morning... sadly and on point of this thread, I can't find my 1099 that I should've gotten from Chase for my brokerage account and that being ~$741 in dividends it should've showed up somewhere.
Okay so I went ahead and entered it into my Tax info last night, but they didn't seem to include it as I didn't notice the change to income entered.
Grumble @ Chase.
Got a Secure Message back saying my YouInvest 1099 forms wouldn't even be mailed till middle of February. Maybe it's some consolidated form use case but I should just be getting a 1099-DIV and that deadline is already missed.
The fact I'm configured for paperless anyway, blah.
