A 1099 also known as an information return is a tax document businesses are required to file to report certain business transactions to the IRS. The form is required by the IRS and other government regulations for businesses to file.
If you never received a 1099 form, don’t be alarmed. At some point in your life you will receive one. However, if you were told you were going to receive a 1099 wait until you receive the 1099 before filing your federal and state taxes. If you did not receive the 1099 by January 31st of the current year, contact the company and ask to be sent a duplicate copy.
If you receive a 1099 you are required to file it along with your income to the IRS because a copy has already been sent to the IRS in your name from the specified company.
There are over a dozen 1099 forms that you may receive during tax time. The most common 1099 forms are:
A. 1099-R – sent to tax filers for: annuities, charitable gift annuities, direct rollovers, excess deferrals/contributions, IRA distributions, military retirement, Roth IRA distributions, SEP distributions, SIMPLE distributions
