Do i need to send 1099 to sub contractors that are incorperated
You do not need to send 1099-MISCs to corporations. This includes S-Corporations and C-Corporations.
You do need to send 1099s to single-member limited liability company (or LLCs) or a one-person Ltd. But not an LLC that’s treated as an S-Corporation or C-Corporation. Here’s another way to remember:
- Sole proprietor = Do send 1099
- Unincorporated contractor or partnership/LLP = Do send 1099
- An LLC that elects treatment as an S-Corporation or C-Corporation = Do NOT send 1099
Alas, there are some exceptions to this rule. You still need to issue 1099s for:
- Attorney’s fees even if the lawyer is incorporated
- Gross proceeds paid to an attorney (such as for legal settlements)
- Payments to for-profit medical care providers
**Answers are correct to the best of my ability but do not constitute tax or legal advice.
Still have questions?
