Tips and instructions for use

The 1099-MISC is an 8 page document, but there’s only one form that needs be filled out (the document includes several copies of the same form, which are filed in the Payer’s records, sent to the Payee, and submitted to both the IRS and your state’s tax department.

When completing the form, you’ll need to identify yourself (the Payer), the consultant or contractor you’ve paid (the Recipient), and the details of amounts you’ve paid over the past year.

Filing

As the Payer, you’ll need to file the 1099-MISC form with the IRS and your state’s tax office by the deadline, which varies depending on the year and filing method chosen.

You’ll also send the “Payer” section of the form to the listed “Recipient” so that they may complete their annual tax return.
