Merge Supplier implications for 1099 reporting

Summary:

If an existing supplier with past P2P transactions is purchased and communicates to Purchasing dept their new/acquiring supplier name and TIN, will using Merge Supplier functionality FROM the existing supplier record TO the new supplier record cause past payments on 1099 reports to show the new supplier TIN (which would seem incorrect in our understanding)?

If Merge does open up potential 1099 problems, is there a better practice than using Merge in such scenarios to keep lineage/association of all Procurement activity and spend between the old and new TINs (such as using Parent Supplier functionality)?
