Doug--- I would think if your check was for $8000 and on stub it had itemized 14-6=8 I would talk to my CPA and simple deduc the 6000 as expensives and report only the $8000 as taxable income. Also you get a 15% depletion allowance on the 8000 so only $6800 is taxable.That is very high for pipeline cost !!!   you need some type document from EOG that show the deduction. Ask your CPA if EOG should give you a corrected 1099 or can CPA do it on your return.Ask CPA if 15% depletion on the 14,000 or only on the 8000?

I would think the depletion would be calculated on the gross amount of $14,000.

Enter the gross of $14,000, then deduct $6,000 of 1099 expenses and $2,100 of depletion for a net taxable amount of $5,900.

You can deduct expenses against a 1099 payment, the transportation is an expense.
