Next question for my new small contractor client. He paid a worker $5,000 last year on a variable schedule, clearly meets the criteria as a subcontractor not an employee. I asked my client did you issue a 1099 to the guy - yes I did he says. I ask him if he filed the 1099 and transmittal form to the IRS and I got the whatyoutalkinboutwillis look back from him. All he did was print a 1099 off he found on the internet, filled it in and handed it to the guy
I never deal with 1099s. But now I have to. What's the easiest/fastest way for me to get one filed for this fellow? I want to make it by end of Feb to avoid any extra penalties.
thanks...
