At year-end, when paying a contractor for whom a 1099-MISC form needs to be filed, which date gets reported: the date on which payment was issued (prior to December 31), or the date on which payment was received or even deposited (after January 1)?

If I'm getting your question right, 1099-MISC forms are a summary of all fees paid during the year in question, so there is no date entered, just the year the income was earned and paid. It needs to be sent by January 31 of the following year (although many aren't). And as I'm sure you know you don't have to report payments to contractors totaling less than $600.

I am not an accountant, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn once.

As I understood the question; taxes apply to the year earned. Not the year paid. But I could be wrong as tax stuff changes rather quickly.

Thanks, Bruce. You de-mangled my question. It wasn't about entering a date but rather, as Frank surmised (thank you), for what period the taxes are paid.

So a 1099-MISC is filed for anything earned (over $600) in a given year, even if payment is made after year-end.

Many thanks... and enjoy your holidays.
