The deadline for providing 1099’s to payees and filing with the IRS is quickly approaching.  The due date is January 31.

Form 1099’s are required to be provided to all non-corporate payees to whom a business pays $600 or more during a calendar year for services, rent, awards or other payments.  Form 1099’s must be provided to payees no later than January 31 of the year following the year in which the payments were made.

As you may be aware, there are penalties for failure to file the returns and/or provide them to payees, as well as for uncorrected errors.
