Do incs get 1099s?

Sole proprietors who have employees use Form W-2 to report wages, tips and other types of compensation, not a Form 1099. You must use Form 1099 to report payments made to unincorporated businesses and independent contractors who are not employees. One exception to this rule is payment for legal services.

Any attorney who does work for you worth $600 or more gets a 1099-MISC. You send a duplicate copy to the IRS as well. This applies regardless of whether the law office’s business structure is a corporation, a partnership or any other type.

To complete the filing process, you will need to order blank copies of IRS Form 1099-S and IRS Form 1096. These forms need to be printed with a very specific type of paper and ink, and while it’s possible to reproduce these documents from home, it’s a lot easier to just order them from the IRS.
