W-2, 1099 and 1098 information-return documents
Find wage, compensation, interest, tuition and other information statements, with recipient-copy and filing guidance.
Information returns report particular payments or transactions. Choose the form from the payment category and issuer’s records, then separately review recipient furnishing, federal filing and any state obligations.
The category matters more than the familiar number
Wages, service compensation, rent, interest, dividends, retirement distributions and tuition are different reporting jobs. “1099” is a family name rather than a single interchangeable form. Use the detailed document pages to identify each form’s records and limitations.
Prepare from issuer records
Issuers need reconciled payment or transaction records and correct payer/recipient identities. Recipients who need a replacement for an employer, bank, school or government statement should contact that issuer. Typing a replacement PDF does not authenticate the original transaction.
Review copies and submission separately
The PDF’s copy label explains its intended use. Formz’s 1099-NEC output includes recipient Copy B and Copy 2. A recipient copy is not an agency submission or acknowledgment. Use the applicable filing instructions and permitted method separately.
