If you are seeing the question, Did you make any payments that required you to issue a form 1099? , you may need to issue 1099's if:
You may have to file
information returns (for example 1099-MISC) for certain payments of fees and
other non-employee compensation, interest, rents, royalties, real estate
transactions, annuities, and pensions.
You may also have to
file an information return if you sold $5,000 or more of consumer products to a
person on a buy-sell, deposit-commission, or other similar basis for resale.
For more information
about requirements for 1099 information returns, see the IRS General
