1099 OID, 1099 A, 1040 and 1096

The IRS 1099 Forms are a group of tax forms that document payments made by an individual or a business that typically isn’t your employer. The business that pays the money fills out the form with the appropriate details and sends copies to you and the IRS. The form reports payments made during the tax year. In some instances, a copy is also sent to your state taxing authority. The payer is responsible for filling out the appropriate 1099 tax form and sending it to you. The IRS requires payers to provide most 1099 forms by January 31. In certain instances, the date is February 15.
