| Nov 6, 2014 at 14:26 | comment | added | Dilip Sarwate | Ask your US client if it will be issuing a Form 1099 to your friend for 2014 showing that this amount was paid to your friend. (Quick check: will the US client ask for your friend's Social Security Number before making the payment). If the answer is Yes, the IRS will definitely ask if your friend does not report this amount on his/her income tax return. | |
