February 9, 2012
Business federal tax returns for the year 2011 contain two new questions. These questions appear on Forms 1120, 1120S, 1065, and 1040 Schedule C and Schedule F. The questions are:
- Did you make any payments in 2011 that would require you to file Form(s) 1099?
- If “Yes,” did you or will you file all required Forms 1099?
It is important to accurately answer these two new questions and to file all required 1099s.
