1099 Processing
The SBAS office prints the 1099 Forms on behalf of the districts. The 1099s must be printed on specific 1099 paper and we include specialized envelopes for mailing to individual vendors. It is important for districts to verify the accuracy of each 1099 eligible vendor to determine the necessity and accuracy of the printed IRS documentation. Please review all eligible vendors in Escape prior to the cutoff date. Failure to accurately report and provide this 1099 Tax Information to the individual and the IRS may result in fines for the school district.
