1099 vendor checker

Answer a few quick questions about each vendor you paid. You will see whether they likely need a Form 1099-NEC, a Form 1099-MISC or no 1099 at all.

Check a vendor

1. Is the payee your employee?
2. What did you pay them for?
3. Is the payee a corporation (C corporation or S corporation)?

Attorneys and law firms are the exception: they still get a 1099 even if they are a corporation.

4. Which year did you pay them, and how much in total?
5. Did you take backup withholding from any payment?

Answer the questions to see the result.
