You don't have to usually issue a 1099 to an incorporated entity. You don't have to issue a 1099 to all corporations, but you can issue one just to be safe. You won't get penalized for issuing a 1099 to a corporation when you didn’t have to.
You must issue a 1099 to any attorney you hired, even if that attorney operates a corporation. If your attorney lists a corporation as the name of the entity providing legal services, issue the 1099 to that corporation, not to the attorney.
