Form 1099-MISC
(keep for your records)
www.irs.gov/Form1099MISC
Instructions for Recipient
Recipient’s taxpayer identification number (TIN). For your protection, this
form may show only the last four digits of your social security number (SSN),
individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN), adoption taxpayer identification
number (ATIN), or employer identification number (EIN). However, the payer has
reported your complete TIN to the IRS.
Account number. May show an account or other unique number the payer
assigned to distinguish your account.
FATCA filing requirement. If the FATCA filing requirement box is checked, the
payer is reporting on this Form 1099 to satisfy its chapter 4 account reporting
requirement. You may also have a filing requirement. See the Instructions for
Form 8938.
Amounts shown may be subject to self-employment (SE) tax. If your net
income from SE is $400 or more, you must file a return and compute your SE
tax on Schedule SE (Form 1040 or 1040-SR). See Pub. 334 for more
information. Note: If you are still receiving payments on which no income, social
security, and Medicare taxes are withheld, you should make estimated tax
payments. See Form 1040-ES (or Form 1040-ES-NR). Individuals must report
these amounts as explained in the box 14 instructions on this page.
Corporations, fiduciaries, or partnerships must report the amounts on the proper
line of their tax returns.
Form 1099-MISC incorrect? If this form is incorrect or has been issued in error,
contact the payer. If you cannot get this form corrected, attach an explanation
to your tax return and report your income correctly.
Box 1. Report rents from real estate on Schedule E (Form 1040 or 1040-SR).
However, report rents on Schedule C (Form 1040 or 1040-SR) if you provided
significant services to the tenant, sold real estate as a business, or rented
personal property as a business. See Pub. 527.
Box 2. Report royalties from oil, gas, or mineral properties; copyrights; and
patents on Schedule E (Form 1040 or 1040-SR). However, report payments for a
working interest as explained in the Schedule E (Form 1040 or 1040-SR)
instructions. For royalties on timber, coal, and iron ore, see Pub. 544.
Box 3. Generally, report this amount on the “Other income” line of Schedule 1
(Form 1040 or 1040-SR), or Form 1040-NR and identify the payment. The
amount shown may be payments received as the beneficiary of a deceased
employee, prizes, awards, taxable damages, Indian gaming profits, or other
taxable income. See Pub. 525. If it is trade or business income, report this
amount on Schedule C or F (Form 1040 or 1040-SR).
Box 4. Shows backup withholding or withholding on Indian gaming profits.
Generally, a payer must backup withhold if you did not furnish your TIN. See
Form W-9 and Pub. 505 for more information. Report this amount on your
income tax return as tax withheld.
Box 5. An amount in this box means the fishing boat operator considers you
self-employed. Report this amount on Schedule C (Form 1040 or 1040-SR). See
Pub. 334.
Box 6. For individuals, report on Schedule C (Form 1040 or 1040-SR).
Box 7. If checked, $5,000 or more of sales of consumer products was sold to
you on buy-sell, deposit-commission, or other basis. A dollar amount does not
have to be shown. Generally, report any income from your sale of these
products on Schedule C (Form 1040 or 1040-SR).
Box 8. Shows substitute payments in lieu of dividends or tax-exempt interest
received by your broker on your behalf as a result of a loan of your securities.
Report on the “Other income” line of Schedule 1 (Form 1040 or 1040-SR), or
Form 1040-NR.
Box 9. Report this amount on Schedule F (Form 1040 or 1040-SR).
Box 10. Shows gross proceeds paid to an attorney in connection with legal
services. Report only the taxable part as income on your return.
Box 12. May show current year deferrals as a nonemployee under a
nonqualified deferred compensation (NQDC) plan that is subject to the
requirements of section 409A plus any earnings on current and prior year
deferrals. This amount is also shown in box 1 of Form 1099-NEC.
Box 13. Shows your total compensation of excess golden parachute payments
subject to a 20% excise tax. See your tax return instructions for where to report.
Box 14. Shows income as a nonemployee under an NQDC plan that does not
meet the requirements of section 409A. This amount is also included in box 1,
Form 1099-NEC as nonemployee compensation. Any amount included in box 12
that is currently taxable is also included in this box. This income is also subject
to a substantial additional tax to be reported on Form 1040, 1040-SR, or 1040-
NR. See the Instructions for Forms 1040 and 1040-SR, or the Instructions for
Form 1040-NR.
Boxes 15–17. Show state or local income tax withheld from the payments.
