E-FILE 1099-B FORM ONLINE

Who Must File or E-file IRS Form 1099-B

Tax form 1099-B is filed by brokers or barter exchanges. Brokers are those who are:

• Obligors who regularly issue and retire your own debt obligations
• Corporations that regularly redeem their own stock

In other words, brokers are those who, in the course of a business or trade, stand ready to effect any sales made by other parties. Brokers can include US or foreign persons as well as governmental units and subsidiary agencies.

Brokers must file or e-file Form 1099-B for each person for whom they have sold stocks, commodities, regulated futures contracts, forward contracts, foreign currency contracts, options, debut instruments, or securities futures contracts for cash.

If you’re not considered a broker, you’re not required to participate in 1099-B reporting.

You’re not considered a broker if:

• You’re a corporation and purchase odd-lot shares from your stockholders on an irregular basis,
• You manage someone else’s farm
• You’re an international organization that retires or redeems its own debt.
