This question is about US Tax Law: I am about to hire a couple of content writers and want them to sign a W-9 form. So far, so good - that is the easy part. At the end of the year - how does that work with reporting that income of them to the IRS? Is there a specific tax form for me so that I can report proper payment and "contractor" information? Thanks for any hint. Christoph
Independant contractors (ie not employees) get a 1099 form. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Form_1099#1099
I understand. But I am not hiring contractors (that's why I used quotations when using that term. I want to know how I (the business) report the W-9 (folks I pay money to) earnings to the IRS. Christoph
