The Warm Springs Tribes Finance branch is currently working on processing 1099 tax forms for 2020. They should be out by February 1st. If you received a CARES Small Business grant from the tribe, you will be issued a 1099-MISC tax form. The CARES Act Emergency and Disaster Relief program and CARES Education Assistance programs qualify for tax exempt treatment under the Tribes General Welfare Ordinance, so you will not receive a 1099 for payments issued under those programs. W-2 Forms were sent out last Friday, January 15th.
