1099-PATR Form

What Is a 1099 PATR Form?

As a start, the 1099-PATR form is a crucial document related to taxes that are specific to individuals, organizations, or agencies who, during the tax year, received a distribution from cooperatives of $10 or more. Essentially, these distributions are paid out to patrons from cooperatives, which exist for mutual benefits. The IRS (Internal Revenue Service) created the form 1099-PATR to report these transactions, as they may be taxable, depending on certain conditions.

What do I need the 1099-PATR for?

Like all forms in the IRS’s 1099 series, the 1099-PATR is used for reporting less-familiar income types. Business cooperatives file a 1099-PATR form for each individual:

• to whom they have paid 10 USD or more in patronage dividends and other distributions under section 6044(b) of the IRC;
• from whom federal tax is withheld under the backup withholding rules.

This does not apply to payments to tax-exempt organizations.

Where do I enter form 1099 PATR?

If you're wondering about this question, the answer is relatively simple. The data from 1099 PATR form doesn't go directly into your personal tax return. Instead, the data guides you to other forms before calculating the tax amount and eventually reporting on form 1040. 

To clarify, some information would eventually be reported on Schedule C (Profit or Loss from Business), while other information could go on Schedule E (Supplemental Income and Loss) or even Schedule F (Profit or Loss from Farming).
