Best Practices for Timely and Accurate Form 1099 Filing Using Oracle Fusion Payables

Abstract

1099 Forms are one of the important tax forms used to report various non-employee (i.e. non-payroll) payments made to an individual or an entity. The forms need to be reported to tax authorities in the United States and also be sent to the recipient of such payments. Multiple types of 1099 forms are available depending on the type of payment they report. Two of the most commonly used forms that deal with supplier payments are Form 1099-NEC and Form 1099-MISC. These forms can be generated from Oracle Fusion Payables. Fusion Payables is part of Oracle Fusion ERP cloud, a choice of many enterprises globally. Because these forms are government reportable, accuracy and timely reporting are paramount.

It focuses on critical steps involved in generating these forms, such as pre-requisite steps like data cleaning and data review and key business decisions involving 1099 Forms, which define key application configurations. It also describes in detail the aspects such as performance considerations, onboarding yearly updates, timing considerations for reporting, and also discusses about unique business cases and their solutions.
