It must be reported on your return for the year that it is issued...as identifed on the form. This is not an option or election. That is also the year the one sending it to you has reported that same information to the IRS, who through computer matching programs and such, is looking to see it reflected on your return. (Your not telling the IRS anything they don't know about already).
