Here are the steps of this procedure:
- We will send you a survey link to complete the W-9 form which includes the data we will need for the 1099-NEC form.
- Sermo normally sends the W-9 form in November, however, you will have time to complete it until January 15 the following year.
- If you have missed the deadline, don't worry, you can still access and fill in the W-9 form on the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) website.
- After the W-9 form is completed (whether online or on the IRS website), we will send you your 1099-NEC form to the postal address provided in the W-9 form.
- There is no need to take any actions after you have received the 1099-NEC form. We'll take care of everything from there!
