1099 Filings

A Busy Start to the Year

In the accounting world, the start of a new year often kicks off with a flurry of activity—determining who needs a 1099 and making sure those forms are filed on time. It may sound simple, but it’s one of those tasks that can quickly become overwhelming for business owners.

Why 1099s Matter

1099s are a critical part of staying compliant with IRS regulations. They ensure independent contractors, vendors, and other payees receive accurate reporting of their income. Missing a filing or making an error can lead to penalties, unnecessary stress, and a scramble to correct mistakes.

The Challenge for Business Owners

While it may seem straightforward, the rules around 1099 filings change from year to year. It’s not always clear who qualifies to receive one and who doesn’t. Payments made via credit cards, third-party platforms, or certain types of vendors can create confusion.
