Note: edited for clarity
I am a landlord and have paid several businesses to do work/improvements on my properties. All of them are "incorporated" businesses, so my understanding is that I do NOT need to issue a 1099 (NEC or MISC) to them.
1) Is it correct that as long as I only paid incorporated contractors--that is, I am technically paying a corporation, not an individual (even if that corporation employs just a single person), I do not need to file/send 1099s?
2) When I first entered my data this year, at some point TT online asked me if I had paid anyone that required a 1099-nec. At that time I -believe- I mistakenly answered 'yes'. I want to be 100% certain that is set correctly (to no) in my return, however: I cannot seem to find the place that TT actually asks that question, nor can I see it in my return. So I guess my questions are
a) where is that question asked in TT online? I have run through the UI adding/editing expenses, and other sections that intuitively might be where TT asks this question with no luck.
b) Assuming I answered 'yes' (that is: I did issue one or more 1099-NEC forms), where would that affirmative be reflected in my paper return. I'm assuming TT asks that because there is some box on some form you file with eg your schedule E that indicates "yes I did send one or more 1099s to contractors", but I don't see it anywhere on my actual return. That could mean that I correctly answered 'no', or that the answer doesn't actually get included in the return, just on some worksheet, or that I'm just missing it when I review the return.
In any case, I really just want to find the place in TT online that asks the question so I can positively affirm that I answered 'no'.
Thanks very much for any suggestions!
