Why is it important to collect W-9 Forms before filing 1099 Forms?
W-9 Form collects critical information that you will need to file a 1099 Form at the end of the year to record payments made to suppliers and independent contractors. When you request W-9 from the vendor, the vendor must include their Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) or Social Security Number (SSN), legal name, and address.
Another advantage of completing Form W-9 online is that it helps avoid Backup Withholding This is the procedure of withholding a percentage of payments (usually 24%) paid to suppliers that have not submitted an appropriate TIN. The IRS requires businesses to withhold and submit these amounts until the vendor provides an accurate TIN.
What are the differences between Form 1099-NEC and Form 1099-K?
