1099 Tape

Submit the 1099 Tape report to generate your summarized 1099 and 1096 information on a magnetic media file, in the format required by the Internal Revenue Service. You can store this file on a tape or diskette and send it to the Internal Revenue Service. The IRS requires that you send them a tape of your 1099 information if you need to submit 250 or more 1099 forms for your suppliers.

If you define more than one tax reporting entity for your organization, and each tax reporting entity submits 250 or more 1099 forms, the IRS requires you to submit the 1099 Tape for each of your tax reporting entities.

If you enable the Combined Filing Payables option, Payables produces K records for all tax regions (or states) participating in the Combined Filing Program that have qualifying payments. Payables also produces B records for suppliers with 1099 payment amounts which equal or exceed the tax region's reporting limit in qualifying states. Payables produces these records when you submit the 1099 Tape.

Refer to federal or state tax publications to obtain information regarding the 1099 reporting requirements for each participating tax region. For example, you may need to enter the reporting limits for each income tax region of the Income Tax Regions window.

If you submit a tape to the Internal Revenue Service which includes MISC9 (Golden Parachute) payments to 1099 suppliers, Payables provides a total for the payments in the B record for each payee. In addition, Payables prints an indicator (Last Filing Indicator) in the A record for the tape which notifies the Internal Revenue Service that you will not be filing for this supplier next year.

If there are any exceptions for your 1099 suppliers included in this 1099 Tape, Payables will not create the tape. The 1099 Tape will exit with an error status. You can see this status in the Requests window.
