Checks are not issued until the royalty payment amount reaches a minimum of $100.  However, once a year, checks are issued for royalty payment that amount to $10 or more.

Payments may be affected by a number of items and circumstances, including the following:

Notice of a change in ownership — When Daylight receives notice of a change in ownership such as notice of death, change of address, transfer of property, assignment of interest or legal dispute, payments will accumulate and release once we receive all necessary documentation and have completed the change of ownership. 

Please review our OWNERSHIP CHANGE GUIDE for further information

Missing or incorrect address — If Daylight receives notice of an incorrect address, payments will be suspended until a corrected address is on file.

Oil and natural gas production and market conditions — Changes in a well’s production or oil and natural gas prices may affect the amount of a payment, as can normal maintenance issues, which may impact the volume a well produces in a specific time period.

Corrections to a previous payment — Adjusting a quantity, price or decimal may be required if there was a previous overpayment or underpayment.

Daylight is required to report to the Internal Revenue Service all payments made to interest owners.  In order to report the payments correctly, we request you fill out and return a Form W-9 providing your Tax Identification Number.  Until we have a valid Tax Identification Number or Social Security Number on file for you, the Internal Revenue Service requires that we withhold 24% of all revenues (30% for foreign residents) until the information is provided. Complete and submit a form W-9 to OwnerRelations@daylightpetroleum.com to avoid future withholdings.

Revenue checks are not negotiable after 120 days. Checks more than 120 days old are considered stale dated and can be re-issued by returning the check to the address below. Daylight will include this amount on your next revenue check.

Royalty owners who were issued at least $10 during the calendar year should receive a Form 1099-Miscellaneous Income statement. The IRS does not require Daylight to furnish a 1099-Miscellaneous Income statement to foreign, nonprofit or incorporated owners.

Working interest owners who were issued at least $600 during the calendar year should receive a Form 1099-NEC Income statement.

Daylight will mail Form 1099-Miscellaneous Income statements by January 31 of each year. If you do not receive an expected 1099 by February 15, please contact the Revenue Department and include your complete account number.

The Form 1099-Miscellaneous and 1099-NEC​ Income statement report an owner's gross income paid by Daylight prior to any other deductions or taxes. The form will also list required state and/or federal withholding, if applicable.

Revenue is reported on the Form 1099-Miscellaneous and 1099-NEC Income statements for the year in which the check was issued; regardless of when the owner received the check. In this example, the revenue would be reported on the 2022​​ form.​ If a check issued is stolen, lost or becomes stale dated and is ultimately voided in the following calendar year, the void will be reflected on the following years Form 1099-Miscellaneous or 1099-NEC Income statement. 

We understand.  Please complete and sign the 1099 Authorization Form to the Revenue Department and include our complete account number

To request a copy of your 1099 or if you have further questions, please contact the Revenue Department and include your complete account number, the last four digits of your Tax Identification Number or Social Security Number along with all details related to your inquiry.
