Okay - so my situation is we have an independent contractor who is no longer a contractor with my business.
When preparing for1099 issuance we discovered that we had failed to send her a W-9 in her original package. I have emailed her, my assistant has called her multiple times and has not responded to any of our attempts to reach her. Our calls are immediately sent to voice mail, so it is obvious she has no intention of giving us her tax ID number.
I have gone ahead and issued her the 1099 with the TAX ID number blank and submitted it with my 1096.
My question is how can I further press her for her SSN when she no longer works with us? I understand from this thread that the IRS will follow up with notice to me citing this blank 1099.
Appreciate any assistance! TIA
