It's been 4 years since I got my CSP bonus and my AF just hit, and wondering if I should downgrade now to a Freedom so that I can sign up for a CSP or CSR in a couple weeks when the bonuses are more lucrative. Seems sorta complicated but I guess I need to open a new account and then transfer my UR points sitting in there

If that's your plan than you need to get it done now. I was told by Chase CSR when i downgraded mine. "Both new freedom card and the card you are cancelling needs tobe synced up with all three bureaus". It takes few cycles and to make sure when you apply for new card its all good.

What do you mean by that? All three bureaus need to have processed that I've downgraded from a Sapphire so by the time I go to sign up again and Chase initiates the check through them, I'm in the clear? If a credit check is instantaneous when applying, wonder how long it takes to process a downgrade
Well, ive done like 20-30 and ive received one each time... They always send 1099s out for sign up bonus offers. Its considered interest.
Dude, you're either highly misinformed or doing something wrong here. It's not taxable - end of story. I've never received a tax form and my household has 30 credit cards collectively. Stop spreading b/s. You could file it if you want to be generous and pay money to the IRS but other than that, you don't have to.

i received a 1099 for one of my chase bonuses but others i did not it was weird.. not all of them though.
They killed the ability to do that a while back now.
You can no longer get more than 1 sapphire bonus every 48 months, and will be rejected for opening a new sapphire if you currently hold one.
Oh wow. Had no idea! The good old days are over i guess. I might close my csr and open csp and then upgrade to csr then, if they allow that. But if they do allow that would I get the $300 travel credit on the csr?

AFAIK you can't upgrade the CSP to the CSR until you've had the new CSP for 1 year.
(it is chases reading of the CARD act that it's not legal for them to switch you to anything that raises the annual fee in the first 12 months).
If you upgrade after that you'd get the $300 credit in your 2nd membership year... but you'd have to be without a CSR (and all the other benefits of it) for that year.
This is a little easier if you have a Player 2, since one of you can continue to hold your CSR during the 1 year wait the other is going through on holding the CSP.

Any chance the one you got the 1099 for was a referral bonus and not a spend bonus?
Generally credit card signup bonuses requiring spend are not considered taxable/income, but rebates.
Generally bank account signup bonuses ARE considered income/taxable and 1099s get issued.
Referral bonuses tend to be somewhere in between and kind of hit and miss
