A 1099 form is a series of documents the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) refers to as “information returns.” There are a number of different 1099 forms that report the various types of income people receive throughout the year other than the salary your employer pays you. The person or entity that pays you is responsible for filling out the appropriate 1099 tax form and sending it to you by January 31.
HERE ARE SOME OF THE MOST COMMON 1099 FORMS:
A 1099s is essential for businesses and investors for several reasons: 1099-INT: This is used to report interest income. 1099-DIV: This is used to report dividend income. 1099-G: This reports government payments, like unemployment benefits. 1099-R: This reports distributions from retirement plans, annuities, pensions, etc. 1099-MISC: This reports various types of income like rent, prizes, medical payments, and others. 1099-NEC: Starting from 2020, non-employee compensation previously reported in 1099-MISC box 7 is reported in this form.
1099 FILING
For businesses or individuals who are paying others, remember that you generally need to provide 1099s to your independent contractors if you paid them $600 or more during the tax year. It’s a good practice to request a W-9 form from anyone you think you’ll need to send a 1099 to. The W-9 will provide you with their taxpayer identification number and other information you’ll need for the 1099.Finally, be aware that you need to send a copy of any 1099 you issue to the IRS as well as to the recipient. Deadlines and methods for doing this can vary, so check the latest IRS guidelines or consult with a tax professional.Please consult with a tax professional for advice related to your specific situation as this is a general guide and may not cover your specific circumstances. Tax laws can be complex and change frequently, and there can be serious penalties for not complying with all applicable rules and regulations.
