3. FAQ's about 1099-MISC forms

What is a B-Notice Letter?
A 1st or 2nd B-Notice Letter is a backup withholding notice. The IRS has indicated Molina reported incorrect recipient information on a 1099-MISC form in the previous tax year and must solicit for the correction information using the 1st B-Notice Letter and W-9 Form or 2nd B-Notice Letter.

What is a W-9 Form?
The IRS form W-9, Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification is a legal tax document Molina is required to have on file before writing a check. It identifies your legal taxpayer name, which could be your business name or individual name, and your Federal Tax Identification Number (TIN) or Social Security Number (SSN).

Will I receive a B-Notice Letter?
Not all recipients of a 1099-MISC will receive a B-Notice letter from Molina, only if the IRS determined Molina submitted incorrect recipient information on its 1099-MISC filing.

When are B-Notice Letters sent out?
The IRS issues a CP-2100 Notice to Molina in late fall, containing the errors on the 1099-MISC filing that was submitted for the previous year's taxable payments. The IRS requires the B-Notice letters to be distributed within 15 days of receipt of the CP-2100 Notice.

Why have I received a B-Notice Letter?
Molina has sent you a B-Notice letter because the TIN/SSN is invalid, or the Legal Name we have on file for the TIN or SSN identified on B-Notice Letter is incorrect. The IRS considers a TIN incorrect if either the name or TIN shown does not match the name and number combination in the IRS's files.

How do I have my tax reporting information corrected?
