When it comes time to file 1099-MISC forms through the IRS IRIS portal in January, the information on this sheet can be easily transferred to their CSV template download to do a batch upload of data. Using this process will reduce the need for you to individually enter each 1099-MISC form in the IRIS portal and improve accuracy of data entry!  \nTips and tricks for using the data file:  \nPrior to distributing a program payment: obtain a completed W9, then enter information about the entity you are paying and the amount of the payment into the 1099-MISC Working Data File; each line/row of data represents a 1099-MISC to be generated. If an entity gets more than one payment during the year, the total of all payments should be listed-there should not ever be an EIN or SSN listed twice in the recipient’s data section.  \nNot all columns in the 1099-MISC Working Data File template are needed for the district's use, but the spreadsheets configuration must match-up with the IRIS template for uploading. Therefore, columns can be hidden, but do not delete any columns. Many items will be left blank; items that are not required by the IRIS should be left blank.  \nTo make the date entry easier, columns that the district will not use or that will have identical data on each 1099-MISC (form type, tax year, all district information) have been hidden and only the recipient information area is shown in the 1099-MISC Working Data File that is being distributed. To keep the column headers visible while scrolling down through the worksheet, some panes have been frozen. Information on how to un-hide columns and un-freeze panes to allow a full view of the worksheet are included in the “At year-end” section of these instructions.  \nThe area where recipient data needs to be entered has green shaded headings, with yellow highlights on the columns that will only be used occasionally when the text length warrantsa second line. Please read carefully and follow all formatting requirement guidelines listed in line 5 of the 1099-MISC Working Data File; if data is not formatted correctly, the transfer and upload within IRIS will not be successful. Examples are also shown in the document.  \nMake sure any long numbers remain formatted as text and do not convert to scientific notation (1.045E+5) or another format.  \nOnly use the allowable characters, ex: do not use periods in certain columns.  \nMaximum characters per line/blank includes spaces between words.  \nDo not add extra spaces; no cell can contain leading, trailing, or adjacent spaces.  \nAt year-end (late December/early January):  \nPrior to finalizing the 1099-MISC Working Date File, all columns must be un-hidden and the viewing panes un-frozen so the district’s information can be added and all data reviewed.  \nTo un-freeze panes: in the menu bar (File-Home-Insert, etc.) click the View tab, then click the drop-down arrow to the lower right of the Freeze Panes button, then click Un-Freeze Panes. Now the entire document can be scrolled through without the column descriptions being held in view.  \nTo un-hide columns: click the Select All button (the area in the top-left corner of the spreadsheet, above the row numbers and left of the column letters); this highlights the entire sheet. Move the mouse slightly right to the header of the first columns shown and right click, then select Un-hide; this makes all the columns in the worksheet visible.  \nThe different sections of the worksheet are color coded: 􀁑 pink is the tax year and form type, 􀁑 blue is the district information, 􀁑 green is the recipient details, 􀁑 yellow areas will likely be unused, and 􀁑 grey shaded zones will have no data entered.  \nThe district informat","cbCaiooA07h9BYkR","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiooA07h9BYkR","pdf",97309,"English","# Tips and tricks for using the data file\n## Before distributing a program payment\n## Matching spreadsheet configuration to the IRIS template\n## Handling hidden columns, frozen panes, and required headers\n## Formatting requirements and allowable characters\n## Year-end (late December/early January)\n### Un-freeze panes and un-hide columns\n### Entering district information and copying to each 1099-MISC line\n### Duplicate entry handling (red shaded values)\n### Downloading the newest CSV template and transferring data","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the 1099-MISC Working Data File?\",\"answer\":\"It collects information on 1099-MISC recipients as payments are made, so the data can be transferred to the IRS IRIS portal’s CSV template for batch upload in January.\"},{\"question\":\"How should payments for the same recipient be handled during the year?\",\"answer\":\"If an entity receives more than one payment, list the total of all payments together and ensure the EIN or SSN is not listed twice in the recipient data section.\"},{\"question\":\"What must be done at year-end before uploading?\",\"answer\":\"All columns must be un-hidden and viewing panes un-frozen to add district information and review all data.
