What do I do if my vendor didn't provide their SSN or ITIN? Do I still have to file?
Enter a form without TIN in Tax1099.com, stating TIN Not Provided.
In the meantime, request a W-9, and track the date you request it as proof, if you are penalized later by the IRS. If you've already requested a W-9, keep those records as well.
In general, do not issue any payment to a vendor without collecting their W-9, or withhold 28% (per the IRS) if they refuse to provide one.
What if I only owned my business for a few months last year, and then sold it. Do I still have to send 1099s for payments over $600?
Yes, you are still required to file in this case.
Do I need to collect a W-9 or TIN from vendors who are individuals?
Always collect a W-9 from anyone you pay in the course of your business or trade.
Is my vendor's TIN the same as their SSN?
Yes, a vendor's TIN is usually their Social Security Number or an EIN (Employer Identification Number)
Do vendors need to consent to receive their statement through the mail?
No. Consent is only required for electronic delivery (eFile).
What if a vendor doesn't respond by the email deadline? Can I send their 1099 by both mail and email?
You can choose to mail and/or email each vendor as needed, in Tax1099.
When I eFile, do I need to sign the 1096 form?
The 1096 form is not required when you eFile.
Do I have to use 1099-K if I paid my bills through Bill.com? What if I paid using my debit or credit card?
1099-MISC forms must be sent to vendors you paid through Bill.com.
1099-K forms are not required for payments made through Bill.com using ACH.
1099-K forms are sent through a third-party settlement entity to people who were paid with funds received from another source (ex: paid funds from debit/credit card transaction to a merchant that the card owner made a purchase from).
If the payment was processed by a third-party settlement entity for credit or debit cards, they will issue a 1099-K instead of a 1099-MISC. The payment card networks are required to submit gross sales information reporting (IRS Form 1099-K) to the IRS for each merchant.
To note: Bill.com is not a third party network and does not make third party network payments. We are not a Payment Settlement Entity.
