Check Detail Legend

A 1099 is a form required by the IRS to report various types of income other than wages, salaries, and tips (for which a form W-2 is used instead). The payor of royalties (usually the oil company) is required to complete a 1099. Three copies are made: one for the payor, one for the payee, and one for the IRS. If the payor does not have the payee’s social security number the payor must withhold state and federal income taxes. However, if the payee provides a tax ID number, s/he may elect to collect the gross proceeds and pay the income taxes him/herself. It is important to note that certain other taxes, such as transportation taxes, will be deducted in some cases, as they are not income tax. Below is a sample of the Supplemental 1099 information that you will receive.
