What if I do not have all of the information needed?
Send Form W-9 to anyone that you think may need to receive a 1099. The payee’s response will dictate if a 1099 is required. Download form W-9 here.
Payees that are limited liability companies (LLCs) need to be sent Form W-9 in order to determine their tax classification. (LLC is not a tax classification. IRS tax classifications are: sole proprietor, partnership or corporation for tax purposes.)
