If you do not have the Social Security Number by the filing deadline, leave the identification number box empty, but still submit the report to the IRS.
The IRS will send a notice stating that the number is missing, and this must be sent along with a backup withholding notice and W-9 form to the subcontractor. It notifies the subcontractor that they will be subject to withholding until the identification number is submitted.
While the individual or business can be subject to a penalty for refusing to provide an SSN or EIN, you also can be subject to a penalty for not submitting fully completed forms by the deadline.
@AlanT222 Hello AlanT222, and thank you for getting back to me. One more question, do I need to snail-mail file these 1099 MISC's seems how I cannot e-file them without a social security number for the recipient?
If the forms (1099-MISC AND 1096) cannot be e-filed, mail them.
Use Express mail or some other expedited manner of sending them. They were due January 31st.
A copy of the 1099-MISC goes to the contractor, a copy is retained by you with your business files and a copy is submitted with a 1096 to the IRS.
