Some of the Most Common Forms We Work With During Tax Form Processing:

1099-NEC

Beginning with the tax year 2020, employers must use Form 1099-NEC to report nonemployee compensation. Common examples of nonemployee compensation include payments to independent contractors, fees paid for professional services such as attorneys and accountants, and commissions paid to nonemployee salespersons that are subject to repayment but not repaid during the calendar year. With 1099 outsourcing services experience, this is the most common form filed.

1099-MISC

Form 1099-MISC is a U.S. Internal Revenue (IRS) form that reports compensation paid during the year to an individual who is not an employee. When a business uses a contractor, consultant, freelancer, etc., it is required to file a 1099-MISC if the total amount of compensation paid to that individual that year is more than $600. As a 1099 processing services provider, in our experience, this is the second most common 1099 form filed.

1099-DIV

Form 1099-DIV is a U.S. Internal Revenue (IRS) form that is used to report Dividends and Distributions paid to a person:

To whom you have paid dividends (including capital gain dividends) and other distributions on the stock of $10 or more,

For whom you have withheld and paid any foreign tax on dividends and other distributions on stock,

For whom you have withheld any federal income tax on dividends under the backup withholding rules or

To whom you have paid $600 or more as part of liquidation.

1099-INT

Form 1099-INT is a U.S. Internal Revenue (IRS) form that reports interest paid during the year to an individual for whom you have paid $600 in interest. Form 1099-INT also is used to report specified private activity bond interest and federal income tax withheld (backup withholding), if applicable. With our experience in 1099 filing services, this is the third most common type of form.

1099-B – Proceeds From Broker and Barter Exchange Transactions

Form 1099-B is a U.S. Internal Revenue (IRS) form that is used to report proceeds From Broker and Barter Exchange Transactions for each person for whom the broker has sold stocks, bonds, commodities, regulated futures contracts, foreign currency contracts, forward contracts, debt instruments, etc. As a 1099 service provider, this is one of the less common forms processed.

1099-C – Cancellation of Debt

Form 1099-C is a U.S. Internal Revenue (IRS) form that is needed to be filed for each debtor for whom a debt owed is $600 or more if the debtor is an individual, corporation, partnership, trust, estate, association, or company. Form 1099-C must be filed regardless of whether the debtor is required to report the debt as income. With our 1099 form processing experience, this is not a common form to file.

1099-R – Distributions From Pensions, Annuities, Retirement or Profit-Sharing Plans, IRAs, Insurance Contracts, etc.

Form 1099-R is a U.S. Internal Revenue (IRS) form that is used to report Distributions From Pensions, Annuities, Retirement or Profit-Sharing Plans, IRAs, Insurance Contracts, etc., for each person to whom you have made a designated distribution or are treated as having made a distribution of $10 or more from profit-sharing or retirement plans, any individual retirement arrangements (IRAs), annuities, pensions, insurance contracts, survivor income benefit plans, permanent and total disability payments under life insurance contracts, charitable gift annuities, etc. With our 1099 filing services experience, this is one of the less common forms filed.

Form 1099-S is a U.S. Internal Revenue (IRS) form that reports the sale or exchange transaction for money, indebtedness, property, or services of any present or future ownership interest in any improved or unimproved land, permanent structures, residential, commercial, industrial building, stock in a cooperative housing corporation or non-contingent interest in standing timber. With our 1099 form processing experience, this is not a common form to file. With our 1099 filing services experience, this form is not commonly filed.

1098 Form – Mortgage Interest Statement

The 1098 form is a U.S. Internal Revenue (IRS) form that is used to report mortgage interest of $600 or more received during the year in the course of trade or business from an individual, including a sole proprietor. The $600 threshold applies separately to each mortgage. With our 1099 services experience, the 1098 form is one of the more common forms filed.

1098-T – Tuition Statement

Form 1098-T is a U.S. Internal Revenue (IRS) form that is used for each student enrolled and for whom a reportable transaction is made. Insurers must file Form 1098-T for each individual to whom reimbursements or refunds of qualified tuition and related expenses are made. With experience as a 1099 service provider, this is not a very common form filed.

1098-MA – Mortgage Assistance Payments

Form 1098-MA is used to provide information to the IRS and to homeowners regarding mortgage payments made by the homeowners and mortgage assistance payments made with funds allocated from the Housing Finance Agency Innovation Fund for the Hardest Hit Housing Markets (HFA Hardest Hit Fund) or the Emergency Homeowners’ Loan Program.
