Form 1099 MISC, Miscellaneous Income

If you make payments in excess of $600 to a worker who is not considered an employee, you must prepare Form 1099 Miscellaneous Income. Copies of this form must be provided to the worker and the IRS.

The IRS compares the payments shown on the information returns with each recipient's income tax return to determine whether the payments were reported as income.

Form 1096, Annual Summary and Transmittal of U.S. Information Returns

If Forms 1099 are being sent to the IRS on paper, they must be transmitted with Form 1096 Annual Summary and Transmittal of U.S. Information Returns. Form 1096 reflects the totals from all of the Forms 1099-Misc. that you issued. If the Form 1099-Misc. information is being transmitted to the IRS electronically or on magnetic media, then a Form 1096 is not required.
