(There has been a law change several years ago that would have required investors to issue 1099s, but that law never went into effect and was ultimately repealed.)
An unincorporated business or income-producing entity organized by two or more persons. A partnership is not subject to tax but passes through to the partners all income, deductions, and credits, according to the terms of the partnership agreement.
