What is a Form 1099?
A Form 1099 is a year-end US tax document that we send to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and to artists to report income received during the calendar year.
The 1099 form notifies you of the income you must report on your tax return, and we also report the same information to the IRS.
Non-U.S. Tax Forms (Form 1042-S)

Artists residing outside the U.S.

U.S.-source earnings paid to you during the year.
U.S. tax withheld from those payments (if applicable based on tax treaties or requirements).
What it reports: Form 1042 is a U.S. tax document that reports certain U.S.-source payments made to foreign persons and any U.S. tax withheld on those payments during the calendar year. It includes the amount of U.S.-source income paid and the amount of U.S. tax withheld, if applicable.
