Question About Paying for Articles and Sending Out Tax Forms to Writers
Simply put:
If I paid people for a bunch of articles, and the amount ever totals $600 or more, am I *required by law* to send each person a 1099 tax form?
Or can I leave that responsibility to the writer? For example, by saying, "You are solely responsible for keeping track of your earnings and reporting all tax information to the IRS."
Of course, i'm hoping for the latter rather than the former....
Thoughts?
Thanks!
