My company bought a trade show booth from an employee who has their own company. They are sole proprietor and?

Can you answer Stacey B’s question about Trade Shows?:

I was instructed to send 1099 to anyone we paid more than $600 to that is not incorporated. He said he never recieved a 1099 as we just bought something from him.

1099 or no?

    Trade Shows Feedback: A 1099 is required for services purchased but not for merchandise like a trade show booth.

    Trade Shows Feedback: Hi!

    The 1099-MISC form is used to report payments made for services rendered. You have a purchase of an item and therefore no 1099-MISC is required to be sent.

    Hope this helps.
