1099's

[CC21]

We are paying a friend to re-roof our house. Do we as individuals have to fill out a 1099? or is that for businesses only?

[Csara]

I am pretty sure it is for businesses only, but if anyone knows differently, please correct me. We've never had to fill something like that out for work done on or around the house.

If you call your city building they will let you know if you have to fill that out or not.

I don't know if this is still a question you have, but I believe (not sure) that he would be acting as an independent contractor for you. As such, he would be responsible for reporting that income, possibly on a Schedule C if that's not his full-time job.
