How to Fill Out 1099 Forms for Missouri

Filling Out 1099 Forms for Missouri

The 1099 is a federal income tax form created by the Internal Revenue Service for businesses and individual taxpayers to report miscellaneous income paid out to non-employees during the year. Individual states have their own forms for reporting miscellaneous income. Missouri's version of the 1099 is the Missouri Form 99-MISC. Unlike the federal 1099 that is sent when payments reach $600 or greater, the MO-99 is filed only when payments are greater than $1200.
