UDC 04/TR

The codes in UDC table 04/TR (Type of Return - 1099s), which the system uses to process 1099s, identify the different types of 1099 forms and specify the box on the form that corresponds to each type. The Build A/P Workfile program (P04514FP) and the Write Media program (P04515) use values from this UDC table to determine the type of 1099 form and the box in which to enter amounts.

The codes in UDC table 04/TR are hard-coded. You must not change or delete them unless otherwise specified in the Special Instructions for the 1099 electronic software updates (ESUs). The codes specifies the type of form, as follows:

  • A: 1099-MISC

  • 1: 1099-DIV

  • 6: 1099-INT

  • B: 1099-NEC

  • F: 1099-G

Using the preceding examples, the combination of the first and second characters specifies forms and boxes as described here:

  • For A1, the A represents Form 1099-MISC and the 1 represents box 1 (rents).

  • For AA, the first A represents Form 1099-MISC and the second A represents box 10 (Gross proceeds paid to an attorney).

  • For 1B, the 1 represents Form 1099-DIV and the letter B represents box 9 (cash liquidation distribution).

  • For 64, the 6 represents Form 1099-INT and the 4 represents box 4 (federal income tax withheld).

  • For B4, the B represents Form 1099-NEC and the 4 represents box 4 (federal income tax withheld).
  • For F4, the F represents Form 1099-G and the 4 represents box 4 (federal income tax withheld).

The following tables list the values for UDC table 04/TR, the box name on the preprinted 1099 form, the corresponding box number, and the amount code for electronic filing for each type of 1099 form.
