Form 1099-Int--Buyer or Seller file it? barefooter 01-16-2008

I sold some property in 2007 and I received interest income (I am
carrying the note).

QUESTION: Do I need to file the Form 1099 or does the person that is
paying me interest need to file it?

The person or business paying the interest would issue the 1099 if they are
required to do so.

You can prepare your returns based on the interest income you know you
received. You have an amortization schedule, yes?

If you are a private individual, and NOT in the business of making money
off of interest, then you have no requirement to issue a form 1098! (not
1099)

Probably no one, but if anyone does, it would be the person paying the
interest. See the instructions for the 1099 series.

If this is mortgage interest you would have the obligation of filing a 1098
only if the interest income was in the course of your trade or business.
See the 1098 instructions.

And the payor would file a 1099INT only if paid in connection with his
trade or business, e.g. the property in question being used as a store
building maybe.
