IRS or State Taxable Income -What are the Repercussions of Not Filing a 1099 on Time - DWK Tax Group

Feb. 8, 2013 - PRLog -- IRS Information returns such as a 1099 can come in many uses and serve various purposes most often utilized to report compensation exceeding $600.00 of ordinary income annually or $10.00 or more of royalties . Should the reporting entity not properly issue a 1099-MISC for non employee compensation? The issuing entity could very well be unneccessarily taxed on income that should identified as an expense. In other words...you are screwing yourself. Avoid leaving your business income open to be unnecessarily taxed.

Some of the more common 1099's  are;

1) 1099-C - Cancelation of Debt (Credit Card or Primary Residence Foreclosure)

2) 1099-A - Abandonment of Property (Lender reported acquisition or abandonment of property)

3) 1099-G - Unemployment

4) 1099-R - Distributions and Contributions

5) 1099-MISC - Non Employee Compensation (Awards, Bonuses, Attorney Fees, etc.)

The most commonly used 1099 reporting is the 1099-MISC. If you are operating a business involving multiple vendors, sub contractors and other businesses with the intent to make a profit, if the expense is pertinent to normal trade or business practices that exceeds $600.00 of payment for services rendered or more.

Deadlines for issuance of 1099 is as follows;

January 31 - The issuing entity, a calender year IRS Taxpayer, requirement to send off a 1099. The consequence of Failure to File an information return after 1/31 but less than 30 days late is $30.00 per form with $75,000.00 cap for small businesses and a $250,000.00 cap for larger businesses.

Should information returns be issued beyond 30 days late but issued prior to August 1 the Failure to File penalty is $60.00 per form with a $200,000.00 cap for smaller busineses and a $500,000.00 cap for large businesses.

If the information return is issued after August 1 the fines are even steeper...$100.00 per form, $500,00.00 for small business owners and a $1,500,00.00 penalty for large businesses. Yikes!
