After looking into this a little for you your tax agent may not need this from you. These forms are used by US based businesses to report payments made to foreign entities or people. They lodge them with the IRS and are required to send you a copy. It's essentially a summary of what they've paid you and any amounts withheld from the payment. As long as the information you lodged in your Australian tax return won't change based on what they've sent you, your tax agent shouldn't need this as no adjustments would be required. You may wish to contact your tax agent to discuss if they wish to view it.
