I would like to settle a disagreement with coworker at my place of employment.

My understanding is that 1099 (to vendors/suplliers) should be issued based on Checks' issued date. Coworker insists it is based on expense posting date.

Here are some facts:

Company is on accrual basis (LLC) Year-end: Sept 30th Expenses posting: Generaly we post expenses to December up till January 20th, but checks will be issued in January.

Please give your opinion on this. Thanks.

This is much like p/r. Accrued p/r is not w-2 wages in 2006, but when the p/r is paid, then it is included on the w-2...essentially this is the same.

Amounts reported on 1099s are on a cash basis, not accrual.

2006 Payments to qualified 1099 vendors is what you report not what is expensed for the year. Per 2006 IRS Instructions:

Trade or business reporting only. Report on Form information 1099-MISC only when payments are made in the course of your trade or business.

1099 is cash basis. Report what is was actually paid in 2006. For your records, make an adj to show the accrual.
