Form 1099 Year End Tax Report Reminder for Vendors

  • This is a friendly reminder that 1099 forms will be distributed to vendors by the Department of Administrative Services (DAS) at the end of January 2025. 
    It is important to keep your contact information (mailing address and phone number) updated with OPDC to make sure you receive your 1099 timely and prevent payment delays.
  • If DAS receives your 1099 back as undeliverable, they will inactivate your vendor profile and OPDC will be unable to process payment to you until this information gets updated and resolved. 
  • If your address has changed since last year, please ensure your current address is on file by sending an email with the subject line “Contact Information Update” to accountspayable@opds.state.or.us and be sure to include your full current mailing address and contact information in the email.
