I am getting ready for the year end and preparing the information for 1099s. I am getting confused on what I need to report on 1099s. I originally thought that any vendor (except for corporations) that we pay more than $600/yr should receive a 1099. I read the instructions of the 1099s and now believe that only services (labor) over $600/yr need a 1099. In other words, if we just purchased materials or equipment I should not send a 1099. I know rents and leased equipment are sent 1099 Misc under #1 blank. I have W-9s on all of our vendors.
The main reason I started looking into the instructions was to find out if the tax I paid on invoices were included in the amount reported on the 1099. Could anyone clear this up for me? I know this all is scheduled to change in 2012, but I just need to get it straightened out for 2010.
In 2010 you will need to 1099 for non-employee labor only. In 2011 you will need to 1099 both labor and vendors who you pay $600 or more. That could change back to the old rules of just labor but nothing has been accomplished yet.
