Unfortunately, Openforce is not qualified to provide you with tax advice; however, business expenses are generally tax-deductible, and the CMS Fee is an expense that you incurred while operating your business. You’ll want to speak with a tax preparer about what constitutes a legitimate deduction.

How Openforce will populate your 1099-NEC form:

Payer: Openforce/Contractor Management Services or your contracting company will be listed in this box.

Recipient’s TIN: Your SSN or EIN will be listed in this box. This is based on data you provided during enrollment in Openforce.

Box 1: Non-employee compensation of at least $600.

Box 4: Federal income tax withheld. If you were subject to a federal withholding during the year, then the total of the withholding will be listed in this box.

Box 5-7: State tax-specific information.

Void/Corrected: If Openforce cancels your 1099, then the Void box will be checked. If Openforce changes the Non-Employee Compensation on your 1099, then the corrected box will be checked.

The IRS 1099-NEC form is the form that is used to report independent contractor income to the IRS. NEC stands for Non-Employee Compensation. The requirements for reporting are as follows:

• You were paid $600 or more during the calendar year.
• Services performed by you were for business purposes.
• Corporations are generally not issued a 1099-NEC and not required by the IRS.

Your 1099 will be made available by January 31st of each year. A paper copy will be mailed to you, and you can find an electronic copy in the Openforce portal.

I provide services to two (or more) Openforce contracting company clients. Why did I receive:

One 1099: Openforce is the payer of record for both contracting company clients, so your gross earnings were combined into one form.

Two or more 1099s: Openforce is the payer of record for one of the 1099s and the contracting company client is the payer of record for the other.
