Which form 1099 to give to new corporate accounts asking for one

@jhasley-cleanswe  If they are asking for it, they probably want a W-9.

The W-9 is the form 1099 Vendors fill out with their information so that you can give them a proper 1099 at year end.

As to which 1099 you will want to fill out for them at year end, that is not a question anybody here can answer without knowing what you are paying them for.

The Form 1099 you provide to new corporate accounts depends on the type of payment made to the account, jhasley. I can elaborate below to ensure you submit the correct one.

If the payment is for non-employee compensation, use Form 1099-NEC. On the other hand, you can utilize Form 1099-MISC for compensations related to rent, prizes, or other income. Meanwhile, employ Form 1099-K when settlements are made via credit cards or third-party payment platforms.

Scan this reference about the form's preparations: Create and file 1099s with QuickBooks Online.

@JamaicaA  "Meanwhile, employ Form 1099-K when settlements are made via credit cards or third-party payment platforms."

This is misleading.

The 1099-K is distributed by the merchant provider, not the company that made the payment, in basically every practical scenario.
