If you’re not sure what a 1099 is—let alone what should be on it or who needs to get one from you—don’t panic; you’re not alone. Anyone who received more than $600 from your business during the prior year may need a 1099. However, current IRS regulations often create numerous pitfalls for business owners filing on their own. Our thorough knowledge of 1099 regulations enables us to sidestep common issues. Such as duplicating income or including expenses erroneously. We’re passionate about precision and accuracy. We understand that payments you made via debit cards, credit cards, or third-party platforms, such as PayPal, aren’t included on your 1099s, but check and cash payments are. Likewise, payments to a sole proprietor may qualify. However, payments to an S Corp will not. Let us figure out who needs a 1099 and deal with calculating the amounts. We’ll worry about all the rules so you can sit back and relax as we sort through the past year’s transactions for you.
