What to do if company refuses to send corrected 1099?

I did some work last year as an independent contractor and received a 1099-misc. It was short about 4k. I realized It was incorrect when I was finishing my taxes in April so I just filed for an extension.
I've since asked this company 3 times to send me a corrected version but so far they haven't done shite. Oct 15th is coming up and I'm going to ask them again but I'm wondering what I should do if they fail to send it.
My plan is to just claim the extra $4k as misc income on my schedule C so at least if the gov comes back I can say I claimed the income and hence paid the tax. I mean if uncle sam gets his vic on my income one way or another why do they care if its attributed to a particular 1099?
Thanks

They should have also sent the IRS the same 1099, so as long as the amounts are the same what's the problem?
If you do go ahead and claim the extra 4k but the company sends in a 1099 that is the same as your's you should have a credit.

You are required to put on the Schedule C, the amount of gross income you actually received.
The 1099 is a guide, but it is not the only answer. For example, companies are not required to send Form 1099-MISC if the amount paid during the year is less than $600. But you are sure supposed to report that.
IRS isn't going to care if you report more revenue than can be shown on 1099.
It's when you show LESS revenue than reported on a 1099, that the IRS asks questions.

Report the income you received.
If you report as misc income not subject to SE tax, you run the risk of underpaying SE tax.
ETA: I see now you wanted to include on sch c, in which case it will be treated as SE income. Won’t make a difference really but I’d include with gross revenue like Houston said.

I see no reason to wait on corrected 1099, unless this is a timing issue and they are reporting that income on next year's 1099.

Isn't he trying to report ***MORE TAXABLE INCOME*** than what's on the 1099, thereby voluntarily increasing his tax liability to the correct level?? ... because it's the right thing to do?? What am I missing here?? My inference was clear that many people would have seized the opportunity to screw the Gov't... given the chance.

I'm not saying this isn't possible, because goodness knows I've seem some horrific accounting "systems" but this isn't likely.
Usually the problem is the other way around. The 1099 is higher, because they cut a check to the contractor on Dec 31 and the contractor didn't get it until the next year.

Report what you actually got where ever you put that 1099.
I wouldn’t separate it out. You’re correcting an error that goes in your favor. The IRS won’t come after you for sending them to much money
