Answers before we begin
W-2 & 1099 Preparation Support: common questions.
Does every vendor receive a 1099?
No. Reporting depends on the payment type, recipient and applicable rules. Payment method can also matter, so the full facts should be reviewed.
Can a 1099 replace payroll for an employee?
No. The reporting form should follow the worker’s correct status, not be used to choose it.
What if a recipient’s details are missing?
Request the appropriate information promptly and discuss the situation before filing. Do not invent a taxpayer identifier or address.
