FAQS
Q. Why did I receive a 1099-Misc form?
A. The State of Delaware issues 1099-Misc informational reporting forms to individuals and companies that have provided a service to the State of Delaware and are non-State of Delaware employees. If a company is incorporated, a 1099-Misc is not usually issued. Exceptions are corporations that provide legal or medical services. Each payment a recipient received is listed on the form. If you have a question regarding any of the payments, contact the agency that issued the payment. The issuing agency name and phone number are listed on each line.
Q. I performed work for the State of Delaware. Why did I not receive a 1099?
A. You must have received payments totaling at least $600 for the calendar year for a 1099 to be issued. If you believe you met the $600 threshold, your tax status on file may be incorrect. Contact the Division of Accounting at (302) 744-1035.
Q. Why are duplicate payments listed in the detail of the 1099-Misc form I received?
A. Detail displayed on the bottom half of the 1099-Misc form may represent multiple payment lines for a single check. For example, you may have been paid 50% State Funds and 50% Federal Funds and this is displayed on two separate lines, each with the same date and check number. The sum of the two lines is the amount of the check you received.
