Question Is Advertising considered a service on a 1099

I am getting ready to file my 1099's and I used to just submit ones for independent contractors. Now I see I need to file one for health insurance payments and the irs says "service including parts and supplies". I understand, I think, I don't need to send 1099's to suppliers for my campground, but I wondered if Advertising would be considered a service and I need to send a 1099 for them. Any thoughts?

it depends; when your business pays for advertising, the irs requires filing a Form 1099 in only a few specific instances. In most cases you will only need to report advertising as an expense on your business tax return.
If you pay any individual, I mean a contractor, more than $600 during the tax year you are required to issue that person a 1099-MISC by Jan. 31 of the following year and to furnish a copy of the form to the IRS by Feb. 28 or mar 31 for efile. If the advertising vendor is a corporation, you won't need to issue a 1099-MISC.
If you hire an outside artist to design your advertisement, payments to the individual over $600 would require a 1099-MISC. If you hire and pay an individual or partnership as an advertising consultant or contractor who pays for ad space and/or artwork on your company's behalf, you would need to issue a 1099-MISC for all payments made, even if the money was ultimately passed to the newspaper or another individual,

re: 1099 for Health Insurance

Thank you for your response. That means that my last question is, we get our health insurance through Wellmark and make the payments to them. Do I need to send them a 1099? If so, I haven't yet and what happens since I am late?

Paying a premium is not a service; 1099's are issued to people who perform services ;also,
if they are incorporated, a 1099 does not have to be issued .As you are paying insurance premiums and although it may seem like it, it is not a service
you are actually paying for protection that may or may not ever happen or be needed
it is merely a expense of your business, providing health care coverage for yopu/ your employees.

If so, I haven't yet and what happens since I am late?====>>>as above.

Whew!

Thanks so much. Now instead of worrying about having to send out lots of 1099's, I end up not having to send out any. I really appreciate it.
