What is a 1099 Tax Form?
A 1099 tax form is an informational return that certain payers must file with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to report payments made to someone during the year. The form is used to report income from many different sources, including self-employment, rentals, interest, and dividends.
The 1099 tax form is named for its IRS designation. The first section of the form, labeled “1099,” is where the payer enters their information. The second section, labeled “Recipient,” is where the recipient’s information goes. The third section, “Amounts Paid,” itemizes the payments made by the payer during the year.
Most businesses are required to file 1099 tax forms for any contractor or freelancer they paid $600 or more during the year. This includes payments made for services, rent, interest, dividends, and other income. The deadline to file 1099 forms with the IRS is February 28 (March 31 if you file electronically).
When do I need to file a 1099 form?
The 1099 form is an IRS information return that is used to report certain types of payments made by businesses to contractors and other unincorporated service providers. The payments reported on a 1099 form are generally subject to self-employment tax.
If you made any payments during the year that were subject to self-employment tax, you will need to file a 1099 form for each contractor or service provider you paid. You will need to use the 1099 form if you paid someone for services performed in the course of your trade or business, and the total amount you paid them during the year was $600 or more. If you made multiple payments to a single contractor or service provider that totaled less than $600 for the year, you are not required to file a 1099 form for that person.

You will also need to file a 1099 form if you made any payments for rent, royalties, or other similar types of income. For example, if you paid $600 or more in rent for office space during the year, you will need to file a 1099 form reporting that rental income.
The deadline for filing 1099 forms with the IRS is February 28 (March 31 if filed electronically). However, you will also need to provide a copy of the 1099 form to the contractor or service provider by January 31.
What are the penalties for not filing a 1099 form?
If you don’t file a 1099 form, you may be subject to a penalty. The penalties for not filing a 1099 form can vary, but they can be as high as $250 per form that is not filed. In addition, if you knowingly fail to file a 1099 form, you may be subject to a fine of up to $10,000 or imprisonment for up to one year.
How to file a 1099 form in Sage 100
- Assuming you have your 1099 vendors entered into Sage 100 and have marked them as 1099 Reportable, run the 1099 Summary Report (Vendors > 1099 Reports > 1099 Summary).
- This report shows all of the payments made to vendors during the year, along with the total amount paid to each vendor. It also includes a column for “1099 Box,” which indicates which category of income the payment should be reported in on the 1099 form.
- Once you have reviewed the report and verified that the information is accurate, you can generate the actual 1099 forms. To do this, go to Vendors > 1099 Reports > Generate Forms.
- On the Generate Forms screen, select the tax year and choose whether to print or e-file the forms. You can also choose to include a cover letter or not. Once you have made your selections, click Generate Forms.
