Tax Compliance Tip: 1099 Income Reporting

In a new tip provided by the Vermont Department of Taxes they are reminding people that you must report all 1099 income when you file income tax, even if you did not receive a Form 1099 from a payer.

From the IRS (March 2023): If you made a payment during the calendar year as a small business or self-employed (individual), you are most likely required to file an information return to the IRS. Receipt of certain payments may also require you to file an information return to the IRS. This page is applicable to specific and limited reporting requirements. For more detailed information, please see General Instructions for Certain Information Returns or specific form instructions.

Do not file Copy A of information returns downloaded from the IRS website. The official printed version of the IRS form is scannable, but the online version of it, printed from the website, is not. A penalty may be imposed for filing forms that cannot be scanned.
