In our organization, we have close to 100 missionaries around the United States. They are faith-supported missionaries. One of them has a church that is insisting on issuing a 1099 to them for 2009.

What might this missionary do in this case as the church insists on issuing a 1099 because the check was made out to the individual? (I know the missionary should take care of correcting that problem moving forward.) Thank you.

An agreement was made between us and a company. The agreement is to "Reimburse" $14000.00 to the company to assist with cost of construction. The company paid the expenses of the construction for widening the street and we are to reimburse the company of a flat rate of $14000.00 after the construction is done. Is this a reportable?
