If I paid overseas (not U.S. citizens) independent contractors to do web development/programming work for my company, am I required to send 1099 forms?

I used multiple contractors, but they were paid more than $600 (each) in total.  Since they are foreign citizens, working in other countries, I don't think they are required to pay taxes in the United States.  But, while filling in the information on TurboTax, if I say I paid someone more than $600, it says I am required to send a 1099.  I think they are assuming that, if you answer yes to this, you are talking about paying someone in the U.S.
