1099's and ss#

[Marie]

option to hide first five numbers, was marked already when i downloaded software.  had a hard time finding the check box, but finally did.  What is the feeling, hide or no?

[Randall]

Not sure.  I'm wondering if recipient should review and check the info on the 1099.

[Marie]

my thoughts, too, but the ATX software auto marked all that i rolled over.

[Randall]

I see the full SSN is on Copy A (for IRS) and Copy B (for recipient).  XXXs appear on Copy C (for payer).

Unless required to mask, show.  It is the one annual shot the recipient has to make sure the amount is reported correctly.  Same for W2 forms...

[Marie]

rolled over another and again it was marked to hide the first five numbers on recipient's copy.  Dont like ATX making that decision for me.  Having to take chek mark off all i  haven't dont yet.

In your preferences, there is a place to disable this function.

I mask everything I can.  Years ago had a client leave their folder on the roof of their car and drive away and never found his paperwork.

can someone tell me where I check to NOT mask social security numbers on 1099's

I have looked all over preference and can't find it.....maybe because its 10:00 pm and I need to go home.

 

thanks,

It's the very first check box at the top of the 1099 Payer's Information page.

[grandmabee]

thank you so much.  I was looking under preferences.

I now changed the master form so I won't forget.

I HAVE DISABLED WHEN I THINK OF IT, IS THERE A PREFERENCES CHOICE TO MAKE FOR ALL INSTEAD OF EACH ONE?

[Randall]

I don't have too many.  But the truncated SSNs are only on the client (Payer) copy.  So I've been leaving them truncated.
