What is a 1099/ 1096 Form?

Before understanding what a 1099/1096 form is, you need to understand what a 1099 vendor is. It is simply a company or individual who does work for you but is not one of your employees. These vendors have the name because you must provide them with an IRS Form 1099 if you pay them more than $600 in a fiscal year. To keep your accounting books in order, you can send them Form 1099 even if they are not paid more than $600.Prior to actually making any such payments to 1099 vendors, gather all relevant information about them so that you can properly file 1099 forms during the tax season.
