IRS Reporting Requirements for Third Party Vendor Payments on 1099-K/1099-MISC
PrintOverview
Beginning with tax year 2011, the IRS requires you to exclude certain payment types you made to a 1099 vendor on Form 1099-MISC that will be included on third party payment processors such as credit card companies, PayPal etc. on forms 1099-K.
Assumptions
You need to file 1099 forms for tax year 2011 and have paid 1099 vendors/contractors using payment types other than cash or check, such as debit card, credit card or third party networking companies, like PayPal.
If you paid your 1099 recipients with only cash or check this legislation does not apply to you.
Details
If you have made payments to vendors in tax year 2011 you will only need to report certain types of transactions and exclude others. Intuit is aware of these compliance changes and working on solutions for our customers.

I use QuickBooks 2010 or 2011. How do I make changes so my 1099-MISC is correct?
- If you only have a few vendors that you paid with credit card, debit card or third partypayment network, the manual option that allows you to manually find and exclude the non-reportable payments may be best for you.
