What is the purpose of Form 1099 Int?
The purpose of Form 1099 Int is to verify the income tax withholding on income from U.S. sources, and it can be used, for example, when an individual obtains employment abroad or the income is subject to U.S. withholding. Individuals can also use it to determine whether they are an “employee” for the purpose of withholding their Social Security or Medicare tax. Information on these forms is provided on the IRS website which you can access at any time. It is also available on this publication.
Why do we require a copy of this “IRS Publication”?
Because a person who claims to be employed abroad cannot simply claim he is an employee and pay no tax. Form 1099 Int provides for the collection of taxes that should be paid out of the salary of an individual for each paid activity that takes place either in the U.S. or abroad, even if the person does not file a tax return. For these two reasons, the IRS requires a printed copy of Form 1099 Int to be forwarded to the foreign employer.
Why do we not require a copy of the 1099 Int form upon receipt of an employer's Form 1099 or W2?
The 1099 or W2 is required in certain cases. For example, the 1099 or W2 can be issued because the employer needs to update the employee's social security number. In case the employer does not have social security numbers readily available, a copy of the 1099 or W2 can be requested from the IRS. Also, with certain information reporting transactions, in the case of the Forms W-2 and other withholding, a request for the actual W-2 is also necessary. If the 1099 or W2 is not used, it is good practice for a U.S.
Who should complete Form 1099 Int?
All businesses? Everyone? Only employees or the business itself? All employees? Only the business or the individuals?
When should Form 1099Int be filed?

At the end of the tax year (end of December)? I'm in college. I'm not paying taxes after December 31. Yes, but I need to pay taxes in the next 12 months.
As soon as I get my return. If I can't pay in the next 12 months and don't file before my deadline, the IRS will file it for me. If the IRS takes me to court, I won't have to pay.
Do I need to be a U.S. Citizen? Can I file Form 1099 Int for anyone?
No. If you are not an American citizen (whether you file Form 1040, 1040A or 1040EZ) then you can still use Form 1099 Int to make a payment to an international organization. For example, a non-citizen of the United States can make a payment to the Sierra Club for the Sierra Club Global Rainforest project. Note: Payment to other private international NGOs is not an acceptable form of payment. (You can see more information here.)

What is the due date on Form 1099 Int?

The distribution should be filed on or before that date. In the example, the due date is. The amount will be refundable if it has been filed on or before the due date. However, you must pay within 15 days of your last day pay on record to avoid a penalty of 20% of the taxable distribution.

What should I do with Form 1099 Int when it’s complete?
Once Form 1099 Int has been completed, the IRS returns Form 1099-INT (Individual Taxpayer Return) to you. This form will show you the amount of tax due from the Form 1099 income your client paid on your behalf.
The amount will be included in the client's tax return. You will then reconcile the two forms together, using Form 1040-ES. Use the information from the Form 1099-INT to complete Form 1040-ES (Withholding Certificate for Self-Employment) and send it to the individual you are remitting the tax to.
How to Use the Form 1099-INT Income Return
Use Form 1099-INT to report the income from Form 1099-INT. The amount reported on Form 1099-INT is the net income (loss) from the client, which is the total from each Form 1009(e) and all prior income tax returns filed by you for the client.
If the client provided us with an attorney or some other type of professional service, such as accounting, you can report the net income to the client from business related expenses.
You must report a client's net income from Form 1099-INT and then subtract the net income to Form 1040-ES (Withholding Certificate for Self-Employment) from that reported gross income.
For additional information on How You Can Report Net Income, see the Instructions for Form 1040-ES and Net Income.

What are the different types of Form 1099 Int?
The most common category of Form 1099 Int is Int. This category refers to payments you've made to the IRS on a regular basis that total 600 or more per calendar year.
The next three types of forms are:
1099-MISC — this is for payments made for business services on a regular basis that don't fall under any of the other categories. If you've used Form 1099-MISC to make those payments, you'll want to use their Schedule C instructions to show off the business income that has been reported. Use these forms to report any business dividends or interest, but don't include income you didn't receive.
— this is for payments made for business services on a regular basis that don't fall under any of the other categories. If you've used Form 1099-MISC to make those payments, you'll want to use their instructions to show off the business income that has been reported. Use these forms to report any business dividends or interest, but don't include income you didn't receive. 1099-INT — this is more akin to Int, but is only used if you're making payments on a regular basis that total more than 600 each calendar year.
— this is more akin to Int, but is only used if you're making payments on a regular basis that total more than 600 each calendar year. 1099-D (or U.S. Bank) — this is for payments made for business services to any U.S. bank, in the same manner as payments to a U.S. bank.
How many people fill out Form 1099 Int each year?
We estimate that there were about 23 MILLION 1099-INT forms in 2010. This is a conservative estimate, because it does not include all the people who signed up for the Form 1096, the replacement document. (The replacement form was used by people who have been unemployed for less than 13 weeks, whose wages were less than 700 in any three months during 2011).
Do all the people who get 1099-INT each year have to report their income to the IRS?
For individuals, yes. If you get a form 1099-INT for your income earned through work in 2011, you must report it. Generally, you must file an annual return with your 2012 tax return. We also require annual reports for certain individuals who are self-employed. This is generally the case whether you paid income taxes on the income.
Who is considered an “eligible individual” under the 1099-INT rules?
If you have a Form 1096-A for your 2010 taxes, the eligible individual test applies. An eligible individual, for this year, is someone who meets all applicable conditions. In order to qualify, you must:
be a U.S. citizen or a legally admitted permanent resident;
not have more than 4,000 in adjusted gross income for 2011; and,
not have a tax liability in excess of 200,000 during 2011. If the IRS determines you could qualify under the IRS test, you will receive a Form 1099-INT based on the appropriate income you reported to a government agency in 2011 and pay no additional income taxes for this year. Otherwise, you will be taxed based on your actual IRS tax liability.
What if you had less than 4,000 in adjusted gross income for 2011?
If you had less than 4,000 of adjusted gross income for 2011 (which is 2,700 for a joint filer and 6,000 for a single filer), you may not be considered an “eligible individual” under the 1099-INT rules and must file a separate form 1099-INT for each of 2010 and 2011. If you are the employee of the business on the Form 1096-A, or an independent contractor who paid you cash wages with Form 1096-A for 2010, you may be considered a qualifying 1099-INT for the year because you may have had an adjusted gross income that exceed 200,000.
Is there a due date for Form 1099 Int?
The 1099-INT should provide the date from which it is reporting to the payee's credit card processor (if the payee is a business). Typically, this is the date the payment was issued — not the date the payee filed Form 1099-INT due to a Form 1099-INT request from the credit card company.
How can I update my information on the 1099-INT report?
Payees will receive an e-mail from us explaining why we had to make changes or corrections. A new 1099-INT report is sent every 12 months. If there are no errors in the information in the report, your payee(s) will receive your updated report in the mail in the spring of each year, at least one month prior to the 1099-INT due date.
What type of errors occurred in the 1099-INT?
There may be errors that do not cause Form 1099-INT errors. Some examples of error categories include:
errors in the payee name
error on the line indicating your name
errors on the line indicating the amount of the remittance
error on the line
error on the line indicating the date the payment was reported
Error on the line indicating when the payment was reported.
Can I request the corrected 1099-INT if I think I have been reported to the IRS as having filed a false or incorrect 1099-INT?
You may want to check with your tax preparer or accountant prior to making a 1099-INT request because errors have been reported incorrectly to the IRS. Most taxpayers, however, will be able to submit a corrected report to the credit card company even if the incorrect form was submitted.
When can I expect to receive my 1099-INT?
The 1099-INT is due to the taxpayer to be received within 3-5 days of the date on the 1099-INT report. It does not include information on credit card processing or refunds. The 1099-INT report will be emailed to you, and you may also get a copy through the mail.
If I pay cash, is there a due date for my 1099-INT?
If you choose to pay cash, we will issue Form 1099-INT to you within 3-7 days of the date you deposited the funds to pay the tax.
