Hi all,
I’m a new treasurer for an organization that is preparing to hold it’s
first weekend since before the pandemic. We are a registered 501c3
non-profit operating at less than 50K per year. We will be paying our
talent more than the threshold for filing 1099’s ($600+), thus it is my

Hullo Emily
To clarify, this event is upcoming. We have not yet paid our talent, but
multiple individuals will receive an amount greater than $600.

a 1099 should be issued. On Thu, Mar 21, 2024, 1:38 PM Virginia Varland <varlan...@gmail.com> wrote:To clarify, this event is upcoming. We have not yet paid our talent, but multiple individuals will receive an amount greater than $600.Virginia Varlandvarlan...@gmail.com On Thu, Mar 21, 2024 at 1
Ok then yes each recipient should fill out a w9 (down load from irs) and
then next Jan a 1099 should be issued.

Note that performers still have to pay taxes on the money they earn. So
unless your talent is planning to cheat on their taxes it's not benefiting
them to keep below the $600 threshold.

Thanks Penelope, so far so good(ish).
Regarding the language, I plan on revising our policy to specify a deadline

I ask the talent how they want to be paid, it's about half and half for cash

. Most of our talent didn’t
respond, but of those that did, most were ok with a little loosing of our
policies (i.e. removing vax/booster requirement or allowing more alternatives
but keeping masks and contact tracing). We’ll next survey our community to see
what they are open to.
