Relationships Between AAIs and Boxes on 1099 Forms
When you use the G/L method for 1099 reporting, the data that prints on 1099 returns depends on the item number in AAIs. The A/P Ledger method does not use AAIs.
These example forms are provided for informational purposes only. Do not reproduce them for filing.
We offer and support Copy B forms, to submit 1099s to the IRS. You can use the Electronic filing process even if less than 10 1099 returns. On February 21, 2023, the Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service published final regulations reducing the threshold for filing returns and other documents electronically (e-file). These regulations require filers of 10 or more information returns in a calendar year beginning in 2024, tax year 2023, to file those information returns electronically.
