You use this program to define your page layout for printing 1099 supplier labels.
A 1099 Label Format must be defined before you can use the AP 1099 Label Print or SRS 1099 Label Print programs.
Although they are called labels, they are actually documents that are used in the USA to report miscellaneous income to the Internal Revenue Service. Each time you pay a supplier for goods or services, the net payment value is accumulated. At the end of the year you generate a 1099 label displaying the total net payments you paid to the supplier. This document (label) is sent to the Receiver. The Supplier submits documentation to the Receiver indicating how much money he received from you. The Receiver then compares the 1099 label you submitted with the documentation submitted by the supplier to check whether the supplier has declared all the money paid to him.
