Form 1099-MISC for miscellaneous income is used to report payments for services provided for a business by people not treated as its employees, such as payments to subcontractors, rent payments, or prizes. A 1099-MISC form must be provided to the recipient and a copy must be mailed or filed with the IRS. The due date for paper filing Form 1099-MISC is February 28th, 2014. If you choose to e-file your Form 1099-MISC, the due date is automatically extended to March 31st, 2014. Please keep in mind that all recipients must be provided a copy by January 31st. The Form 1099-MISC must be filed for each person to whom at least ten dollars in royalties or broker payments, or at least six hundred dollars in rent, services, prizes, other income payments, medical and health care payments, insurance proceeds, or cash paid from a notional principal contract to an individual, partnership, or estate was paid during the year. Additionally, it must be filed for any fishing proceeds or gross proceeds of $600 or more paid to an attorney. The IRS encourages filing for this information return and mandates that anyone filing 250 or more must file their returns electronically.
