Taxizen Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 I wonder if the payer has to issue 1099 Misc to subcontractor, the company with FEIN? As I know, the payer only issue 1099 Misc to the individual with the social security number. Would anyone confirm it? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jklcpa Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 You can't go by whether the entity has a Fed Id # vs SSN, Even an individual operating as sole prop should have a FEIN if they have employees, using the FEIN to file payroll returns & W-2s. The Schedule C has a place for the FEIN. Go back & find out if the sub is an unincorporated entity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Send the W9 and ask the question. If they don't answer, send the 1099. If they are a corp, they will just ignore it. Tom Lodi, CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ed_accountant Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 The above two replies are correct. When in doubt issue a 1099. You can still issue a 1099 even if they are a corporation.. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
