Our school worked with a designer to purchase furniture. The designer charged us her cost on the furniture plus a 10% mark up. Do we 1099 her for the entire purchase (product + mark up) or just the mark up?

Why do you think you need to issue a 1099 to the designer?  Did the designer give you an invoice that you paid?   Does your school typically issue 1099's to anyone that you pay for goods or services?

Typically, we issue 1099's for services only to our non corporate vendors. 

However, the markup is itemized on her invoices - we are questioning (1) if the markup is 1099able and (2) if yes, do we have to separate it (mark up only) or just put the entire bill as a 1099 event (product + markup).

Thanks.
