Does the answer to this question depend on whether the company is incurring this expense or whether they are then taxing this benefit to the executive?

I didn't want to create a separate post for it so I thought I'd tack it on here... An LLC can be a partnership, corporation or single member LLC (disregarded entity). LLCs which are corporations would not receive a form 1099-MISC for rents. LLCs which are taxed as a partnership or as a disregarded entity may be subject to a form 1099-MISC. Check the form W-9 if you're not sure. If you don't have one and you're concerned, then issue the 1099-MISC. It can't hurt. Remember, however, that this applies to commercial/business rentals only. I keep getting questions about personal/residential rentals - no, no, no. You don't need to issue a form 1099 for those. I received another question re rents and LLCs.

Payments made for rental payments are <em>not</em> reportable on a form 1099-MISC if paid to a corporation or to a real estate agent. You may need to report rental payments made to an individual or partnership. However, a PC or other corporation in the name of an individual, as above, is not considered an individual for this purposes. You do not need to report personal/residential rental payments (ever) on a form 1099-MISC. Only those payments associated with your trade or business are reportable.
