Why didn't a contractor get a 1099? The company is active, no information is missing and it is tracking for tax forms.

Hi shepowpotts1. Were you able to generate the 1099 for that contractor, or is it just that they haven't received their copy after e-filing? Please know that only contractors paid above the annual $600 cash threshold receive a 1099. Also, payments made via third-party platforms aren't included here, as those are reported by the financial institutions themselves.

For more guidance in checking if they meet the threshold and reviewing your expense category mapping, follow the Step 2 and 3 sections of this article: Troubleshoot missing contractors or wrong amounts on 1099s.

On the other hand, a contractor might not receive their 1099 if the address in their profile is incorrect. Ensure it is the correct address, as you will need to mail the copies to them yourself if it is not.
