Do accounting firms get a 1099 form?

By Zippia Team - Nov. 16, 2022

Yes, unless they are registered as a corporation. The only way an accounting group would not receive a 1099 form is if they are a corporation, but often they are a partnership or an independently working firm.

Freelance accountants, and often partnerships, work under an LLC. They use 1099s as proof of payment and income. Often the taxes are not taken out up front, and the accountant must prepare for the taxes to be paid when it is time to file.

Larger companies are incorporated and have employees on a payroll where taxes are already calculated and sent appropriately on the W2. This is a more realistic look at actual income, while in a 1099 form, you see a larger number upfront, but have to determine your estimated withholdings.
