Q & A

Is this an official IRS site?              

No, I'm an individual that needed to print some 1099s and 1096s and couldn't find an Excel template.  I created a template and refined it over several years. 

What type of 1099 income are these templates intended for?   

The 1099-NEC is a new IRS form for Nonemployee Compensation

This is the info from the old Box 7 before 2020    

The standard 1099-MISC template is good for the most common boxes.        

Box 3 Other income paid              

Box 1 Rent

Box 2 Royalties           

Box 4 Federal income tax withheld  

Boxes 15, 16 & 17 Info for one state          

The Attorney 1099-MISC template is especially useful for Personal Injury attorneys.       

The Attorney 1099-MISC template includes boxes 3 and 4 plus:           

Box 6 Medical and health care payments            

Box 14 Gross proceeds paid to an attorney           

The Interest 1099-INT template is good for:            

Box 1 Interest income paid             

Box 4 Federal income tax withheld     

1099-DIV or previous year templates are available by email.                      

I only pay over $600 to one repairman at my rental house. Will this work for me?         

Yes, irs1099form.com is perfect for you. Download the Excel template, fill it in, print to your preprinted IRS forms, and mail.                     

I work at a law firm and need to provide 1099-MISCs for payments to 15 medical providers and 5 law firms. How would I do that?    

Type your law firm info (name, address, fed ID #) on the template. You will only need to enter this once.     

Type in the info for each recipient (name, address, fed ID #, amount). Print each page to your preprinted IRS 1099-Misc forms                        

Can I use this to efile with the IRS?      

No, this is meant to print to a paper IRS form which is mailed to the IRS. The IRS forms you need are red and available at office supply stores.         

What version of Excel do I need? 

They are simple templates that do not need any advanced functions and should run on any Excel program.                   

I'm not very good with Excel, do I need to know any advanced Excel skills?         

No, the hardest skill is realizing Excel has tabs.                         

Does the 1096 automatically calculate the totals?            

Yes, and there is a very easy override if you created other 1099s                       

All my lines are printing about 1/8" too high (or too low).           

All preprinted forms are not printed exactly the same and there is a simple fix.  Just adjust the row height of line 1.  Drag the border of the row heading (left edge of Excel worksheet) or highlight the row heading/right click/row height/increase or decrease the height                     

Where do I get 1099 and 1096 forms?            

Most office supply stores sell packs with 1099s and 1096s.  The 1099-NEC forms are 2 up (2 1099s per page) starting in 2021, 1099-MISC or INT are 3 up.  Many forms are labeled as  4-part (Red part A for IRS, Black B for recipient, C for payer, and 1096) for inkjet/laser printers.  Free orders from the IRS are thin multipart forms and may NOT work in your printer depending on your tolerance for jams.
