    Generally, you don’t need a physical form 1099-B to report your taxes. However, you need accurate information mentioned on 1099-B to report taxes. In some cases, the IRS might ask for a physical copy but these are just rare case scenarios. 
    Yes, 1099-B counts as income. The capital gains are usually taxed as income depending on what type of gains these are. 

    The tax rate for 1099-B depends on the type of gain it is. For instance, short-term gains (stock with less than 1 year of hold) are taxed as usual income depending on your income tax bracket. On the other hand, long-term gains (stock with more than 1-year hold) are taxed at preferential rates, which are generally lower than your income tax.
