Import Note about 1099s

With the release of the new 1099-NEC form, which will print the Vendor Nonemployee Compensation records, we have added two fields to the Vendor table and the S8 Landlord table to determine which form needs to be printed.

In an attempt to make your job easier, the update has set these flags accordingly giving Vendors the checkbox for printing the 1099-NEC and the Landlords the checkbox for printing the 1099-MISC. If these have been marked incorrectly, please use the Maintain Vendor screen in the Accounts Payable program and the Maintain Landlord screen in the Section 8 T&L program to update these correctly.

LL Access: When your landlords view or print a copy for the 1099s for the year 2020 from the Landlord Access Portal, it is printing the Copy B, for Recipients copy of the form which is for the Landlord’s reference only. The form will not print correctly on the newly updated 2020 1099 form from Landlord Access. This does not impact the filing of the 1099 as the correct amount will still appear in Box 1. If there are amounts that appear in Boxes 7 through 17, the information will be on the form, but it will not be aligned properly. Please note that within the 1099 Tenmast software, all 1099 information, both for the IRS submission file and printing, is using the correct 2020 form.
