Individual payees experience a lot of trouble with their 1099 form instructions. That said, there is a wide range of payers—businesses, contractors, realtors, attorneys, schools, as well as banks and other financial institutions—that have it even worse. Many struggle with complicated questions: How many of which type of recipient do you need to issue 1099 forms for? How many forms do you need to issue per recipient? How good has your accounting been to this point? How readily can you print accurate data on to the relevant, printed 1099 forms? This guide will walk you through basic 1099 form instructions for payers.
Basic Introduction to 1099 Form Instructions
Now, we can’t offer any sophisticated legal interpretation on the tax code. Arguably, nobody can—not with the hundreds of changes made to the tax code each year. Plus, while we do have plenty of 1099 tax expertise, we are, first and foremost, a software developer. With this in mind, the vast majority of questions about 1099 form instructions are readily answered directly through the IRS. Again, it’s really a question of discovering which 1099 form applies to the reporting and filing requirements of your business:
1099-MISC
1099-DIV
1099-INT/OID
1099-Q
1099-R
1099-S
1099-CAP
1099-LTC
1099-G
