Analyzing Form W9s for 1099 Prep 2024

Overview

In this class, we will look at the true beginning of the Form 1099 preparation process: when a relationship with a new vendor is started. We will look at a series of Form W9s with different state-level and tax entity types. We will use that information to analyze how each vendor’s W9, in concert with information about the vendor’s goods/services provided, influences what kind of 1099 they may or may not receive come January 31. We will also talk about when a Form W9 should be collected from a new vendor.
