File a 1099 Form for Payments Made to a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP)?

Yes, and you should file a 1099 form for payments that you make to limited liability partnerships. Send LLPs a Form 1099-NEC if they provided your business with services that:

  • Met $600 in the previous tax year
  • Exceeded $600 in the previous tax year

Make sure that you also send a 1099 form to the Internal Revenue Service. Request a Form W-9 from the limited liability partnerships that offer you services. LLPs must complete a form and provide your business with it before you can send them a 1099 for the previous year.
