There’s a good chance you’ve received an IRS form 1099 in the past. The 1099-INT form, for example, is used to document interest you’ve earned from a savings account or similar interest-bearing bank account. Other types of forms, such as those related to long-term care benefits and retirement plan payments, are often received later in life. That said, if you’re just starting a new business, you’re likely in a very different frame of mind when asking, “What is IRS form 1099?”
To understand the nitty-gritty details, you must first identify which 1099 form applies to your business transactions. One of the most common forms is 1099-MISC, which is used to file for any number of types of miscellaneous income from subcontractor services to royalty payments to fishing boat proceeds. At the same time, there are 19 different versions of the 1099 and, again, knowing which one applies to your business is crucial. To do this, there’s often no better source than the IRS itself, which provides these handy General Instructions for Certain Information Returns https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1099gi.pdf.
