SSNs should be formatted XXX-XX-XXXX for individuals. EINs, on the other hand, should be formatted XX-XXXXXXX for sole proprietors, corporations, partnerships, and so on.

- 1099 Vendor
- A 1099 is sent to any vendor you pay that is not an employee at the end of the year. Select this option for the vendors who fall under this category.
