Frequently Asked Questions
When do I need to issue a 1099-NEC?
You must issue a 1099-NEC to any contractor, freelancer, or non-employee you paid $600 or more during the tax year for services performed for your trade or business.
What's the difference between 1099-NEC and 1099-MISC?
The IRS brought back Form 1099-NEC in 2020 specifically for nonemployee compensation. Previously, this was reported in Box 7 of Form 1099-MISC. Now, 1099-MISC is used for other types of payments like rent, prizes, and royalties.
What are the filing deadlines?
January 31 is the deadline for both: (1) providing Copy B to the recipient/contractor, and (2) filing Copy A with the IRS (paper or e-file). There is no automatic extension.
Do I need a TIN for the contractor?
Yes. Before making payments, request a completed Form W-9 from each contractor to get their Tax Identification Number (TIN). This can be their Social Security Number (SSN) or Employer Identification Number (EIN).
What if I don't have a TIN for the contractor?
If a contractor doesn't provide a TIN, you may be required to withhold 24% of the payment as backup withholding and report it in Box 4 of the 1099-NEC.
