1099 Runs

1099 runs are snapshots of your 1099 data for a given tax year, company, and form type. You can:
  • Access 1099 runs from the
    1099 Work Area
    report.
  • Generate printable and electronic 1099 returns from 1099 runs.
You can create these types of 1099 runs:
1099 Run Type
Task
Enables You to Generate
Original
Create 1099 Run
with the
Initial Run
option.
Original returns that you e-file with the IRS for the first time.
Additional
Create 1099 Run
with the
Additional Run
option.
Original returns containing only payees who aren't included in earlier filings for the same tax year, company, and form type.
Corrected
Create Corrected 1099 Run
.
Corrected returns for a selection of previously processed payees.
1099 runs only contain payment information for payees that you set up for 1099 processing. See Set Up 1099 Payees.
Workday doesn't update 1099 runs when you modify payees or payment information. To refresh data in 1099 runs, you can either:
  • Modify original 1099 runs by creating new 1099 runs and selecting the
    Modify Existing 1099 Data
    option.
  • Regenerate additional 1099 runs.

Modify 1099 Runs

When you create an original 1099 run for a tax year, company, and form type that already have an original 1099 run, Workday:
  • Prompts you to select the
    Modify Existing 1099 Data
    check box.
  • Replaces the original 1099 run with a new original 1099 run from the current 1099 payees and their payment information.
When you create additional 1099 runs and later modify an original 1099 run for the same form type, tax year, and company, Workday creates a new original 1099 run for all 1099 payees, including payees from additional runs. You can still print or generate 1099 electronic files from additional 1099 runs that you've created from the original 1099 run, but you can no longer:
  • Access the additional 1099 runs from the
    1099 Work Area
    report.
  • Regenerate the additional 1099 runs.

Regenerate 1099 Runs

To update 1099 run data without adding new payees to an original or additional 1099 run, you can regenerate 1099 runs. Example: After correcting the tax ID for a payee included in an additional 1099 run, you regenerate the additional 1099 run.
You can't regenerate:
  • Corrected runs.
  • Additional runs, after you modify their original 1099 run. You can find more current payment information on additional payees in the latest original 1099 run.
