Who Needs to File Form 1099?

 

Businesses may have information-reporting requirements when they make certain payments in the course of operating a trade or business.

 

One common example is payments for services performed by independent contractors.

 

Other types of payments can also have reporting requirements depending on the payment, the recipient and the circumstances.

 

Because 1099 requirements can vary, businesses should review their specific situation rather than assuming that every payment is reported the same way.

 

 

 

1099-NEC for Independent Contractors

 

Form 1099-NEC is commonly used to report certain payments made to independent contractors for services performed in the course of a trade or business.

 

This can be particularly important for businesses that regularly work with:

 

  • Independent contractors
  • Subcontractors
  • Freelancers
  • Other nonemployee service providers

 

Contractors, landscapers, construction companies and other service businesses may work with multiple independent contractors throughout the year, making organized payment records especially important.

 

 

 

What Information Do We Need?

 

To prepare applicable 1099 forms, we may need information such as:

 

  • Contractor name
  • Contractor address
  • Taxpayer identification number
  • Total payments
  • Payment records
  • Business information

 

Keeping contractor records organized throughout the year can make year-end 1099 preparation easier.

 

 

 

When Are 1099 Forms Due?

 

Different 1099 forms can have different filing deadlines.

 

For Form 1099-NEC, the federal filing deadline is generally January 31, although the exact deadline can vary when January 31 falls on a weekend or federal holiday.

 

Businesses should also be aware that recipient-copy and IRS filing requirements can apply separately.

 

We can help you organize the required information and prepare applicable forms for filing.

 

 

 

What Happens If a Business Does Not File?

 

The IRS can impose penalties when required information returns are filed late, filed incorrectly or not filed when required.

 

Penalties can depend on factors such as how late the filing is and whether the failure was corrected.

 

If you realize that a required 1099 was missed, it is generally better to address the issue rather than continue to delay filing.

 

We can help you determine what information is needed to address applicable 1099 filing requirements.
