Using "DBA" on 1099 forms
November 15, 2022
Q. I have always put the letters DBA in front of the business name that is om line 2 of the W-9 e.g., John Doe DBA ABC Company. Is this necessary for 1099-MISC and 1099-NEC forms when filing with IRS?
A.
(Answered by IOFM’s third-party tax experts)
The name as the payee furnished it on Form W-9 should be used. If the payee uses both Name lines on the W-9, you'd use them (including DBA if that's on the W-9) but not add anything.
