When a state requests extra documentation for 1099 withholding, it typically means they need additional information to verify the accuracy of your reported income and the taxes withheld. This can happen if there are discrepancies or missing information in your tax return.
Here are some common documents you might need to provide:
- Form 1099: The original 1099 forms you received, such as 1099-MISC, 1099-NEC, 1099-INT, etc.
- Tax Returns: Copies of your federal and state tax returns for the relevant year.
Before submitting these documents, ensure the information on your 1099 matches your state tax returns by following these steps:
- Review Your 1099 Forms: Check all the details on your 1099 forms, including income amounts and withholding, to ensure they are accurate.
- Compare with State Tax Returns: Verify that the income and withholding amounts reported on your state tax returns match those on your 1099 forms.
- Attach Documentation: Attach the original 1099 forms to your state tax return or provide them as requested by the state tax authority.
