I am an employer and one of my contractors stated back in the beginning of 2007 that he was Incorporated but believe that he is just a sole proprietor. He then told me that he as in the process of converting from a sole proprietor to a C or S corp. We are now 3 days past the deadline for filing a 1099 for this contractor.

I would need to know what I need to do, as well as the contractor.

Thanks,
Richard

Give the contractor a Form W-9. He is legally obligated to return it to you so you can properly determine his status.

If he is was a sole proprietor on 31 December 2007, then you need to prepare a Form 1099-MISC for him.

I believe the submission deadline for Form 1099 is 15 February 2008.

I will give him the W9. Thanks, a lot!

Glad to help!
