• A 1099 form is required by the IRS to report various types of income other than wages, salaries and tips. The payor of royalties is required to complete a 1099 form.
• Three copies are made: one for the payor, one for the payee, and one for the IRS. If the payor does not have the payee’s social security number or Tax ID number, the payor is legally required to withhold state and federal income taxes. If the payee provides a Tax ID number, they will collect the gross proceeds and pay the income taxes themselves.
• It is important to note that certain other taxes, such as transportation or severance taxes (when applicable), will be deducted in any case, as they are not income.

BKV will mail all 1099 forms by January 31 of each year.

For royalty payments amounting to an annual payment of $10 and above, and working interest annual payments greater than $600, a 1099 will be provided.

Please contact 1-833-258-5263 or email bkvland@bkvcorp.com to request corrections to your 1099 or a duplicate copy.

• At least once every 12 months, all royalty payors in Texas should provide the below notice to each royalty interest owner to whom the payor makes a payment.

The request must be in writing and must be made by certified mail. A payor must respond to a request regarding itemized deductions, the heating value of gas, and the Railroad Commission of Texas identification number by certified mail not later than the 60th day after the date the request is received. An owner of a royalty interest in oil or gas may obtain information regarding production that has been reported to the Railroad Commission of Texas by contacting the oil and gas division of the commission or accessing the commission's website and providing the identification number of the lease and the county in which the lease is located.
