End of Year 1099-MISC Reporting changes
IRS Publication 1220 states a change for the 2016 tax year when reporting nonemployee compensation payments in Box 7 of the 1099-MISC tax form. If your Financial Institution has 1099-MISC forms with Box 7 information, they must be filed on or before January 31, 2017. In past years, these did not have to be filed until March 31st along with the other 1098/1099 tax forms.
To find out if your Financial Institution has Box 7 information, review the End of Year reports produced after the End of Year extract. If nonemployee compensation payments are being reported, verify the setting to create a separate file for 1099-MISC records is turned on in the End of Year parameters. The End of Year program that runs to create the government file will need to be executed with a specific option to generate a file of the 1099-MISC only records.
