Not sure what to do with this form? We\u2019ve got your back. In this guide, we\u2019ll go over everything you need to know about Form 1099-PATR, including why you received it, what it means, and how to report it, if necessary.<\/p>\n<p><strong>At a glance:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Form 1099-PATR reports patronage dividends and other distributions paid to co-op members.<\/li>\n<li>Patronage dividends are rebates paid by the co-op to members who made purchases.<\/li>\n<li>While individuals generally do not owe taxes on patronage dividends, businesses may need to report these payments as income.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What is a 1099-PATR form?<\/h2>\n<p>Receiving IRS Form 1099-PATR, Taxable Distributions Received From Cooperatives, means you received at least $10 in patronage dividends and other distributions from a cooperative during the previous year. However, you can also receive this tax form if a cooperative withheld federal income tax from you under the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) backup withholding rules.<\/p>\n<p>To better understand why you received a 1099-PATR form, let\u2019s first define some key terms:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Cooperative:<\/strong> Cooperatives, also known as co-ops, are similar to businesses, but they are owned by their members. These members can be individuals or businesses and are the co-op\u2019s main customers. While co-ops are commonly found in the agricultural sector, they are not exclusive to farming. Other examples include credit unions, retail operations, etc.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Patronage dividend: <\/strong>Co-ops often refund their members by giving them a distribution of the co-op\u2019s profits called patronage dividends. These differ from stock dividends paid by corporations (reported on ) \u2014 patronage dividends are not a return on investment but a rebate on purchases you made from the co-op. Essentially, the more you spent on the co-op during the last fiscal year, the more you\u2019ll receive in patronage dividends. Patronage dividends can be cash, goods, or even store credit (or a combination of these). Co-ops can also deduct patronage dividends as business expenses. The good news? Unlike regular dividends, patronage dividends are often not taxable for individuals. Businesses may owe income tax on patronage dividends that exceed the value of their business purchases.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Backup withholding:<\/strong> Backup withholding happens when the co-op withholds federal income tax on your payments. The tax rate for backup withholding is 24%. Usually, this only happens when you do not provide the co-op with your taxpayer identification number (TIN), give the wrong TIN, or fail to certify you are not subject to backup withholding on Form W-9.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Now that we know the basics let\u2019s take a closer look at how to use your Form 1099-PATR and how to tell if you owe taxes on the distributions you received.<\/p>\n<h2>Form 1099-PATR example<\/h2>\n<p>Here\u2019s an example of what a 1099-PATR form looks like:<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-163402\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.taxact.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/FORM-1099-PATR.png\" alt=\"IRS Form 1099-PATR\" width=\"746\" height=\"359\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.taxact.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/FORM-1099-PATR.png 746w, https:\/\/blog.taxact.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/FORM-1099-PATR-300x144.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 746px) 100vw, 746px\"\/><\/p>\n<p>On Form 1099-PATR, you\u2019ll find the payer\u2019s contact information and taxpayer identification number (TIN). You\u2019ll also see your own contact info, including your TIN (often your Social Security number) and sometimes your account number.<\/p>\n<p>The boxes on the right of the form provide details about the amount you were paid:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Patronage dividends:<\/strong> Box 1 shows the amount of patronage dividends paid in cash, qualified written notices of allocation, and other property allowable as a deduction under Section 1382(b)(1).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Nonpatronage distributions:<\/strong> Box 2 is for specific farmers\u2019 cooperatives that don\u2019t have to pay tax. This box reports your share of the total cash payments, qualified written notices of allocation, and other kinds of payments from this specific kind of co-op.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Per-unit retain allocations:<\/strong> If you sold products through the co-op, Box 3 details payments you received based on the volume or value of those products.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Federal income tax withheld:<\/strong> If you were subject to backup withholding, the amount withheld by the co-op is in Box 4.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Redeemed nonqualified notices:<\/strong> A co-op may issue nonqualified written notices of allocation for distributions that didn\u2019t qualify for a deduction by the co-op when first issued. When the co-op redeems or pays out these amounts to you, the amount is reflected in Form 1099-PATR Box 5.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The rest of the form details your share of potential deductions, like your share of the co-op\u2019s Section 199A(g) deduction, which the co-op can pass through to you, as well as any specified service trade or business items (SSTB items in Box 9) for the purposes of the Section 199A(a) deduction. For a list of which trades or businesses the IRS considers SSTBs, check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/pub\/irs-pdf\/i8995a.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instructions for Form 8995-A<\/a> (page 2) on irs.gov.<\/p>\n<p>Additional boxes detail qualified payments and federal tax credits, such as investment credits (Box 10), work opportunity credit (Box 11), and other credits and deductions that may apply (Box 12).<\/p>\n<p>Box 13 will be checked if the payer is a specified cooperative defined in Section 199A(g)(4)(A).<\/p>\n<h2>Instructions for Form 1099-PATR<\/h2>\n<p>Once you have your Form 1099-PATR in hand, here\u2019s what you need to do:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Review your form carefully: <\/strong>Cross-check all the amounts listed on your 1099-PATR with your own records. If something looks off, contact the issuer for clarification.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Determine taxability<\/strong>: Depending on what\u2019s in the boxes, parts of your payment may be taxable, and some may not be. TaxAct\u00ae can help you determine how to report your patronage dividends and other distributions, if necessary, by asking you step-by-step questions about your income during the e-filing process.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Report your income:<\/strong> If you received taxable distributions from a co-op, it\u2019s time to report it. Again, TaxAct can help you with this. If you are a business, we\u2019ll direct you to report your patronage dividends on Schedule C. If you\u2019re a farmer, we\u2019ll help you fill out Schedule F or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/forms-pubs\/about-form-4835\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Form 4835\u00a0<\/a>for farm rental income.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Next, let\u2019s address some frequently asked questions about Form 1099-PATR, including how to know if your distributions are taxable.<\/p>\n<h2>FAQs about Form 1099-PATR<\/h2>\n<h3>Is everything on my 1099-PATR form taxable?<\/h3>\n<p>Not necessarily. It all depends on how the co-op paid you and what the payments were for:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Individual co-op members <\/strong>who purchased personal items for themselves or their families generally do not owe taxes on patronage dividends they received.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Business co-op members<\/strong> who received patronage dividends on purchases made for business purposes may owe taxes on any payments exceeding the adjusted value of capital assets or depreciable property they purchased for business purposes. Any taxable patronage dividends are taxed as ordinary income.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>What should I do if the numbers seem off?<\/h3>\n<p>If you are confused about your 1099-PATR form or the numbers on it don\u2019t match your records, contact the co-op that issued the form for clarification or corrections. Don\u2019t just ignore it \u2014 errors can lead to headaches later.<\/p>\n<h3>Do I need to attach Form 1099-PATR to my tax return?<\/h3>\n<p>No, you don\u2019t have to attach Form 1099-PATR to your tax return, but you do need to report any taxable income from the form when you file your taxes.<\/p>\n<h2>How to report Form 1099-PATR with TaxAct<\/h2>\n<p>TaxAct makes it easy to file Form 1099-PATR in our user-friendly tax preparation software \u2014 just follow the detailed instructions and screenshots below.<\/p>\n<h3>Where to report 1099-PATR<\/h3>\n<p>You\u2019ll typically report amounts from Boxes 1, 2, 3, and 5 from Form 1099-PATR on either Schedule C (Profit or Loss from Business), Schedule F (Profit or Loss from Farming), or Form 4835 (Farm Rental Income and Expenses), depending on how you earned the income.<\/p>\n<h4>To report Form 1099-PATR on Schedule C:<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li>From within your TaxAct return (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.taxact.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Online<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0or Desktop), click\u00a0<strong>Federal.<\/strong>\u00a0(On smaller devices, click\u00a0in the top left corner of your screen, then click\u00a0<strong>Federal<\/strong>).<\/li>\n<li>Click the\u00a0<strong>Business Income<\/strong>\u00a0dropdown, then click\u00a0<strong>Business income or loss from a sole proprietorship<\/strong>, as shown below:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-163403\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.taxact.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/form-1099-patr-taxact-schedule-c-step-1.png\" alt=\"A screenshot of where to report Form 1099-PATR using Schedule C in TaxAct\" width=\"725\" height=\"538\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.taxact.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/form-1099-patr-taxact-schedule-c-step-1.png 725w, https:\/\/blog.taxact.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/form-1099-patr-taxact-schedule-c-step-1-300x223.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 725px) 100vw, 725px\"\/><\/p>\n<p>3.
