Each year, Gold Canyon will issue an IRS Form 1099 Misc. to each Demonstrator for the prior year’s earnings, provided they have earned at least $600.00 (the lowest amount in annual compensation that must be reported to the IRS) in override commissions, incentives, including trip incentives and other reportable earnings.
