Form 1099 Reporting Requirements
Section 6041A of the Internal Revenue Code requires that payments made in the course of your trade or business should be reported to the Internal Revenue Service.
The IRS has been increasing the forms that require reporting income as well as enforcing stricter requirements on Forms 1099 and W-9. For your convenience, we have linked the reporting requirements directly from the IRS.

Make sure during the year that you are collecting a W-9 from any vendor or independent contractor you expect to do business with. Even if the vendor is a corporation, it is good practice to obtain a completed W-9 from each vendor to have for your records, should you ever need to produce them to the IRS.
