AP 1099

Note 1099 Processing is only applicable to companies that report their accounts in the United States of America.

Overview

The IRS assesses tax against miscellaneous income. The IRS requires you, dependent upon certain conditions, to withhold or report the payments you make to suppliers for services rendered. To report payments, you must provide the IRS with 1099 information on various media, usually hard copy forms or magnetic tape. The IRS strictly regulates how you provide this information. Withholding requires that you deduct a percentage of the payments you make to suppliers. e5 AP supports reporting and withholding of 1099 information.

1099 Data Entry Implications

While you enter transactions in e5 AP, you can enter a payment analysis code for each transaction line. Depending upon how you set up the payment analysis code, the system does or does not report the transaction line amount on the 1099 reports.

If you set up a default payment analysis code for a supplier, you can override the code during data entry.

You can change the line level payment analysis code after you enter a transaction using the Payment Analysis Amendment option. Refer to Payment Analysis Transaction Detail Amendment (Header) screen MGDL for information on how to change a line's payment analysis code. You can use this same screen to change a line's payment analysis code after you pay a supplier.

However, if you change the company or supplier parameters to begin withholding money from the payments you make to a supplier, the system does not retroactively withhold amounts from transactions that you have already paid.
