sorry, one more long-winded question (actually a few questions):
so I have 4 1099-DIVs and 2 1099-INTs I am forwarding the entire amounts of all of those forms to my son, 6 forms altogether.
So on the 1096, I would say "6" in Box 3. What do I put in Box 1, employer ID number? I am putting my own information, including social security number, in the 1096 form. There's nowhere where I need to specify my son's info, specifically his SSN. And I will snail mail the 1096 form, along with the 6 1099-DIV TurboTax worksheet forms, in a flat envelope with the modified new payer (me) and the recipient address (which is the same as mine) at the bottom of each worksheet. Is this all correct? Does it matter if the 1096 form is black or red?
Also, it says on the 1096 form that the due date is Feb 28, 2023. Just want to make sure that this is the correct form: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1096.pdf
