If I have a small business (sole proprietorship) where I pay a monthly lease payment, and monthly taxes owed on property I lease. Do I have to file/provide a 1099?

My lease is a triple net lease - I pay monthly lease payment, 1/12th annual taxes on the property, and all expenses.  Do I have to report this to the IRS and send a 1099 to the leaser?

Assuming you are leasing a commercial space, yes, you will need to issue a 1099-Misc to your landlord that reflects all payments made to the landlord.  However if your landlord is taxed as a corporation, then you do not need to issue a 1099-Misc.  

 

You will probably also need to obtain a completed W-9 from your landlord.   Regarding W-9s, the IRS has stated the following:

Use Form W-9 to provide your correct Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) to the person who is required to file an information return with the IRS to report, for example:

  • Income paid to you.
  • Real estate transactions.
  • Mortgage interest you paid.
  • Acquisition or abandonment of secured property.
  • Cancellation of debt.
  • Contributions you made to an IRA.
