Do I give a 1099 to my freelance writers?

Answer by  Kurt (4579)

You will need to issue 1099 forms to your freelance writers that receive more than $ 600 from your company in a calendar year. One copy goes to the writers and another copy goes to the IRS. You should have W9 forms filled out by each writer.

Only if they have more than six hundred dollars worth of work. Anything lower than that is not considered taxable by the IRS. However some people get audited so give them one just to be safe
