Your questions are answered here and some additional information that you may find helpful.

 

In the Additional Payer and Recipient information, there is an Additional Payer and Recipient Information section at the bottom.  Is the Payer TIN supposed to be the original payer (eg. Charles Schwab), or is that where I put my information, as the nominee?

  • You should be the Payer if you are moving (nominee) the money to your  child. 

Nominee returns

Generally, if you receive a Form 1099 for amounts that actually belong to another person or entity, you are considered a nominee recipient. You must file a Form 1099 with the IRS (the same type of Form 1099 you received).  You must also furnish a Form 1099 to each of the other owners. 

 

File the new Form 1099 with Form 1096 (this is a transmittal for the 1099) by mailing to the Internal Revenue Service Center for your area. (Provided on the Form 1096)

  • On each new Form 1099, list yourself as the payer and the other owner, as the recipient. On Form 1096, list yourself as the nominee filer, not the original payer.  The nominee is responsible for filing the subsequent Forms 1099 to show the amount allocable to each owner.

The forms filed with the IRS should be the red copy so if you don't have a color printer, go to the IRS website and order the forms here:
