What You Should Know About Filing A 1099-MISC Form
If you recieve payments as a trade or business from other people or entities, that payment amount is reported to you and the IRS if they total a certain amount for the given tax year. Not all 1099 forms are the same. 1099-MISC is a miscellaneous form which includes any freelance work or contract labor done by the taxpayer for another business. This form includes personal information such as name, address, SSN, or even employer ID. Additionally, it will classify each individual payment in seperate catagories on the form. If you are incorporated as a limited liability company (LLC), you will recieve this form for filing. C corporations or S corporations will not.
