Form 1099-S Proceeds From Real Estate Transactions

I posted this in r/tax as well. But can someone help me.

A bit of a backstory. I have never filled out the Form 1099-S Proceeds From Real Estate Transactions before. My boss is an attorney and told me to fill it out for a closing that was done for a condominium. My boss represented the purchasers who a couple who purchased the condominium from a one person. The condominium was purchased for less than $250,000.

From my understanding the Transferor's, the Seller, Attorney should be the person who was supposed to fill out the Form 1099-S, because from my understanding if there is no settlement agent present during the closing, the Transferor's Attorney is to fill the 1099-S. However, we asked the Transferor's Attorney numerous times to provide to us the 1099-S, but the Attorney did not. My boss decided to that our office would fill it out instead and asked me to fill it out.

I was looking at the 1099-S online. I see that on the IRS website there is a downloadable 1099-S Form which has a Copy A, Copy B and Copy C. However, the instructions says that Copy A of the Form 1099-S downloaded from the IRS website cannot be sent to the IRS because it is not scan-able.

Where do I get the scan-able Copy A of the 1099-S? Who gets Copy A, Copy B, and Copy C of the Form 1099-S? Are there any other Forms that are to be submitted to the IRS along with the 1099-S?

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...
