I was told that we have to claim the $ on our taxes.
Will I get a tax form from them?
Actually it would be a 1099. Bridgestone doesn't issue one. The sponsor declares it so it could conceivably get back to you.
Fixed it. Thanks.
Crap... I don't remember how much I got from Bridgestone this year.
Not sure if contingency money is handled the same as other 1099's.
I get small amounts of income from a number of different sources and was always told that a 1099 won't be issued unless the $$$ amount is over $600.00 for the year. If a 1099 isn't issued then you don't have to claim the income on your taxes.
Then again, I'm not a tax attorney! Your mileage may vary! :biggrin:
My bank sent me a 1099 for $26 last year.
It varies. Some companies do and some don't. If they pay you in cash and it is over $600, then they are required to generate a 1099 misc., Becka what you got from your bank is a 1099 int. that is a little different. A 1099 misc is used for business or hobby income, the 1099 int. is for claiming interest income.

Thanks for the clarification :thumb: Taxes typically have me as confused as suspension settings.
Do you still get a 1099 if you didn't get cash and received contingency certificates? It's more of a discount than anything else. Michelin may be a little different where credit dollars is issued to a card. Anyone have any info?

fwiw, i know that pirelli had me fill out a w-9 and they issue tire credits directly onto an amex rewards card.
I have been thinking about a 1098 to replace my 1125. Just looking for a good deal.
:lmao:

Unfortunately Pirelli does send them out, at least they have in the past even though you are only getting tire credits and not cash. Other then that the only ones I have recieved 1099s from were ones that actually paid cash.

Does that require you to fill out a Foreign Investment tax form?

That's what I thought. More like coupons than anything.
