CathysTaxes Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Well, it looks like the changes the IRS made to Schedule C, E, and forms 1120-S and 1065 regarding the issuing of 1099s is making an impact. One sole proprietor client WHO NEVER gave me a 1099, just gave me ten. Five use his social security number and five use the FEIN. To get past the IRS matching, anyone know how I can input his FEIN into the 1099? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jklcpa Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Enter the FEIN on the Sch C and enter the 1099s as usual. There is nowhere on the 1099-misc input to even indicate an FEIN, but linking it to the proper schedule C and indicate whether it is for the taxpayer or spouse should be all you need to do. The Sch C shows both the the SSN and the FEIN so the IRS *should* be able to match it up. If you get a notice, you will be able to show that all of the 1099's were reported on the Sch C and explain why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have the FEIN on the Sch C, I was just wondering if the IRS had their programming setup to use that for matching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
