What is the name of your state? CA
A professional singer hires a promoter. Although the promoter is incorporated, the singer pays him by check made out to the promoter, not the corporation. The total paid in 2004 was about $6,000.
Does the singer have to issue the promoter a 1099? My understanding is that if the promoter is incorporated, then no 1099 needs to be issued. But what if the check was in the promoter's name, which is different from the corporation name?
Also: All the singer has is the name of the promoter's corporation, no EIN or anything else. The promoter has not been very forthcoming with additional information. Does the singer have to research the promoter to make sure there is a legitimate corporation?
Thank you very much.
