Although the above may be correct, I do have a problem with
a 1099 issued for the payment of living expenses that fall
under IRC 262, communal or not.

For purposes of issuing the 1099 you are, and you would give
each contractor a W-9 to complete and return to you. If they
certify they are a corporaiton you do not need to issue the
1099. Otherwise you do.

I am treasurer of a Condominium and am confused about the
requirements to issue 1099's. We have contracts/agreements
with various service providers for lawn work, cleaning and
etc. Some of these are sole proprietors, and we will pay
some at least $600/year..

In reading the instructions for 1099, I see the requirement
for reporting on 1099's payments for services provided "in
the course of your business". As a condo, and a nonprofit
corporation, we don't have a business.

So will work performed in maintaining our property by
contractors require us to issue 1099's if the entity is not
a corporation??

Thanks
