1099-MISC/NEC Form Maintenance - Field Descriptions

Use this table for reference when completing the fields on this screen.

Fields

Descriptions

Entity

After entering or selecting an Entity, all records will be shown on the main screen for tax review purposes, and cost center security prevents editing vendors that the operator does not have authorization to access.

If the Entity is left blank, the company name displays.
Note: This field only displays if cost centers are being used and entity tracking is also enabled in the current company.

1099 type

Select the type of 1099: Vendor, Customer, or Other.

Vendor/cust code

Enter the vendor or customer code. The system will read the Vendors screen for the entered (V)endor code, or the Customer screen for the entered (C)ustomer code, and complete the name, address, and ID information.

It is not necessary to enter a valid customer code. This is particularly helpful for first-year users that may need to send a 1099-MISC/NEC to an individual paid prior to conversion to Spectrum.

Note: If you select a vendor with a status of Not used, you will not be allowed to proceed. If you select a vendor with a status of Inactive, the software will display a warning.

Payer tax ID number

The payer tax ID defaults from the Build 1099-MISC/NEC Form screen; no changes are allowed.

Vendor total

The total payment made to this vendor displays.

Recipient

Recipient name

The name of the vendor/customer displays.

Alternate name

Any alternate name stored in the software for the selected vendor will default. Enter an alternate name that you want printed on the 1099-MISC/NEC form, which will print in the Name box.

Address, City, State

The full address of the 1099 recipient displays.

Recipient properties

Federal ID#

If federal income tax was manually withheld from vendor payments, enter the company's federal tax ID in this field.

Payer state code

State/payer #

If state income tax was manually withheld from vendor payments, enter the company's state tax ID in this field.

Tip: Kansas and Wisconsin require longer Tax ID numbers than can be entered in this field. For these states, enter REPLACEME in this field, export the file, and then open the file with a text editor and replace the text with the appropriate 15-digit State Tax ID. Alabama, Georgia, Hawaii, Nebraska, New Jersey and New Mexico do not require a State ID for 1099-MISC filing, so this field should be left blank in these states.

SIT withheld

If you manually withheld state income tax from vendor payments, enter that amount in this field.

Select the checkbox if notified twice within the past three years that the vendor or customer's taxpayer identification number is incorrect.

If this 1099-MISC/NEC is for a customer rather than a vendor, the remaining fields are irrelevant.
