Form 1099-PATR farm co-op

Hello

My Client is now responsible for tax filling for a farm co-op within the estate (which we are also filing).

Received form 1099-PATR - this is  the first one I have ever dealt with.

Box 1 has dividends of $56 and box 7 (qualified payments) is $19,682. (Box 5 is $189 and Box 6 is $298).

My concerns are the difference between box 1 and box 7 - what is the actual reportable income? Unfortunately the prior two years records were lost in a flood and no returns were filed. This co-op farm has been part of the estate for at least 25 years. Other than expenses there is no further information. The company in which the crop is sold to provided the 1099-PATR but were not able to furnish any other info.

If anyone can kindly shed some light onto the handling of the 1099-PATR that would be most helpful

Thank you!

Kathy

    Did you happen to look at the back of the 1099-PATR?

    Instructions for Recipient
    Distributions you received from a cooperative may be includible in your income.
    Generally, if you are an individual, report any amounts shown in boxes 1, 2, 3,
    and 5 as income, unless nontaxable, on Schedule F (Form 1040), Schedule C
    (Form 1040), or Form 4835. See the Instructions for Schedule F (Form 1040) and
    Pub. 225 for more information.
    Recipient's taxpayer identification number (TIN). For your protection, this
    form may show only the last four digits of your TIN (social security number
    (SSN), individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN), adoption taxpayer
    identification number (ATIN), or employer identification number (EIN)). However,
    the issuer has reported your complete TIN to the IRS.
    Account number. May show an account or other unique number the payer
    assigned to distinguish your account.
    Box 1. Shows patronage dividends paid to you during the year in cash, qualified
    written notices of allocation (at stated dollar value), or other property (not including
    nonqualified allocations). Any dividends paid on (1) property bought for personal
    use or (2) capital assets or depreciable property used in your business are not
    taxable. However, if (2) applies, reduce the basis of the assets by this amount.
    Box 2. Shows nonpatronage distributions paid to you during the year in cash,
    qualified written notices of allocation, or other property (not including
    nonqualified written notices of allocation).
    Box 3. Shows per-unit retain allocations paid to you during the year in cash,
    qualified per-unit retain certificates, or other property.
    Box 4. Shows backup withholding. Generally, a payer must backup withhold if
    you didn't furnish your taxpayer identification number to the payer. See Form
    W-9 for information on backup withholding. Include this amount on your income
    tax return as tax withheld.
    Box 5. Shows amounts you received when you redeemed nonqualified written
    notices of allocation and nonqualified per-unit retain allocations. Because these
    were not taxable when issued to you, you must report the redemption as
    ordinary income to the extent of the stated dollar value.
    Box 6. Shows your share of the cooperative's domestic production activities
    deduction. The amount must have been identified on this or another written
    notice sent to you from the cooperative during the payment period described in
    section 1382(d). To claim the deduction, you must not be a C corporation.
    Box 7. Shows the amount of the qualified payments on which the cooperative
    computed its 199A(g) deduction.
    Box 8. Shows unused investment credits passed through to you by the
    cooperative. Use Form 3468, and its instructions, to figure the amount of credit
    to which you are entitled.
    Box 9. Shows unused work opportunity credits passed through to you by the
    cooperative. Use Form 5884 to figure the amount of credit to which you are
    entitled. If your only source of the credit is the cooperative, use Form 3800
    instead.
    Box 10. Shows the alternative minimum tax (AMT) adjustment passed through
    to you by the cooperative. Report this amount on Form 6251 on the appropriate
    line in Part I.
    Box 11. Shows other unused credits and deductions (including depreciation)
    passed through to you by the cooperative. For information on how to report
    credits, see the instructions for the specific credit form. For information on how
    to report deductions, see the instructions for Schedules C and F (Form 1040)
    and Pub. 946.
    Future developments. For the latest information about developments related to
    Form 1099-PATR and its instructions, such as legislation enacted after they were
    published, go to www.irs.gov/Form1099PATR.

    Thank you so very much for taking the time to respond in such detail!  I understand much better; box 7 with the $19682 I don't need to report?

    Have a pleasant evening and stay well
