When Do I Use a 1099 Form?

You should receive a 2013 1099 if you have any income from the above sources, although if you earn less than $10 in interest from a financial institution during the tax year, you will most likely not receive a tax form 1099.

You’ll get a 1099 MISC [11] if your miscellaneous income is over $600; business will collect your tax information for the 1099 MISC using a Form W9 [12].

How Do I Get My 1099 Forms?
