Understanding 1099 A/P Worktable Adjustments

After you build the 1099 A/P Worktable (F045143), you can use the Enter A/P Workfile Adjustment program (P04510FP) to review the records generated and, if necessary, adjust amounts for a supplier before you print 1099 returns.

You can use the Enter A/P Workfile Adjustment program to change an existing amount as well as add a line item to an existing supplier record. If a record does not exist for a supplier or if data originates from an outside source, you can use this program to add a record to the F045143 worktable.

Amounts adjusted in the F045143 worktable do not change any data in the accounts payable tables. When you adjust amounts, the Enter A/P Workfile Adjustment program adjusts records only in the F045143 worktable. The worktable is used only to gather information to be reported to the IRS on 1099 forms, and is not used for any other purpose. No audit trail exists for the changes that you enter in the F045143 worktable.

Note: If the IRS has notified you twice within three calendar years that you provided an incorrect tax identification number (TIN) for a payee, you can select the 2nd TIN option on the Adjust 1099 A/P Workfile Records form. The payee's 1099 return will have a check mark in the 2nd TIN check box.
