Form 1099-PATR

Form 1099-PATR

What is the 1099-PATR form?

The forms in the IRS 1099 Series helps taxpayers report money received from various lesser-known sources. Form 1099-PATR is the IRS form sent to taxpayers to enable them to report distributions received from a co-operative that may need to be included in their taxable income.

You would receive this form if a credit union paid you at least $ 10 in patronage dividend and other distributions during the previous year, as described in the IRS code. A patronage dividend is a distribution that a co-operative pays to its members or investors based on the proportion of the company's profits.

Form 1099-PATR often pays dividends associated with farms. Still, you may also receive them for other reasons, including if you withheld federal income tax from the co-operative per withholding rules, regardless of the payment amount.

 

Key Points to Note 

  • In some cases, the form will tell you the deduction fees and the money that the tax code allows your credit union to claim.

  • It is often used to declare dividends associated with farms. Still, you may also receive dividends for other reasons, including if you have federal withholding tax related to a co-operative.

  • You would receive a 1099-PATR if you received at least $ 10 in patronage dividends and other distributions from a co-operative in the previous year.


How to read Form 1099-PATR

1099-PATR will include all or part of the tax identification number (TIN), social security number, adoption tax identification number, or employer identification number. The form also displays the account number and the amount received. The latter might be detailed if you were part of an agricultural co-operative and might include things like your share of cash benefits, certificates of retention of qualifying units, and other assets. The form will show the federal income tax you withheld if you did not send the correct TIN to the credit union.

In some cases, your form will show your deduction costs and the money the tax code allows your co-operative to claim under new regulations that are part of the TCJA. Additional information includes your share of the co-operative deduction that has been transferred to you. This amount must have been disclosed in a written communication sent to you by the co-operative and corresponds to the number of eligible payments made to you.

Some of the above options may also be considered business items or non-business or department-specific business items for the section 199A (a) deduction, which will also be in 1099-PATR.

1099-PATR will also display your federal tax credits. This includes investment loans, employment opportunities, and more, including loans for renewables and refined fuels, training zones, and health insurance premiums for small employers.

Some cooperatives may be exempt from applying a PATR 1099.


Special Considerations

It has often been debated whether the patronage of dividends from worker co-operatives should be subject to self-employment tax. Also, a co-operative determined to be essentially engaged in the retail sale of goods or involved in rendering services that are generally for personal, living, or family use of the members may be exempt from filing a 1099-PATR


INSTRUCTIONS FOR FORM 1099-PATR 

File Form 1099-PATR, taxable distributions received from co-operative, for each person to whom the co-operative paid at least $10 in patronage dividends described in section 6044 (b), or who withheld any federal tax on rents per withholding tax rules, regardless of the amount of the payment. A co-operative that is considered primarily involved in the retail sale of goods or services that are generally intended for the personal, vital, or family use of members may apply for and receive a waiver from completing Form 1099-PATR.  

Report on Form 1099-PATR only income, expenses, and credits that you correctly transfer to users, so they can report them on the user's tax return.


Exceptions

Typically, you do not need to complete Form 1099-PATR for payments made to a corporation, to a tax-exempt organization that includes tax-exempt trusts (HSA, Archer MSA, and Coverdell ESA), in the United States, to a state, property, or district from Columbia. 


Truncating the recipient's TIN in the recipient's statements.

All taxpayers of this form can truncate the TIN code (social security number (SSN), individual tax identification number (ITIN), tax identification number of a beneficiary of adoption (ATIN), or Employer Identification Number (EIN) in beneficiary declarations. Truncation is not permitted in all documents submitted by the applicant to the IRS. A declarant's TIN cannot, in any case, be truncated. 


The 2nd TIN Not

You can enter an "X" in this box if the IRS has notified you twice in 3 calendar years that the recipient provided an incorrect TIN code. If you check this box, the IRS will no longer send alerts to this account.

However, if you received both notifications from the IRS in the same year, or if you received them in different years, but both relate to disclosures submitted for the same year, do not check the box at this time. For the two notifications of the 3-year rule, the user is considered to have received a notification and is not required to send a second "B" notification to the taxpayer after receiving the second notification. 


Account number

This is required if you have multiple accounts for a recipient to whom you are sending more than one 1099-PATR form. Additionally, the IRS recommends that you assign an account number to all 1099-PATR forms that you submit.
