Instead of reporting nonemployee compensation through Form 1099-MISC, as of the 2020 tax year, businesses with contractors file IRS Form 1099-NEC. If you do independent contracting or freelance work for a company, you probably will receive a 1099-NEC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read on to learn more about what a 1099-NEC is and filing requirements. Furthermore, we&#8217;ll share who receives Form 1099-NEC, when it\u2019s due, and how to fill it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-irs-form-1099-nec\">What is IRS Form 1099-NEC?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>First, let\u2019s answer the question, \u201cWhat is 1099-NEC?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Form 1099-NEC has re-emerged from hibernation\u2014it hasn\u2019t been used since 1982. NEC is short for Non-Employee Compensation. As the name implies, this form reports business payments to contractors, vendors, and freelancers throughout a tax year. Why the change? The IRS wants to separate contractor payment reporting to improve clarity of deadlines and ensure timely reporting of these payments. Thus, they redesigned the 1099-NEC and brought it back starting in the 2020 tax year.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.blockadvisors.com\/resource-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/1099-NEC-.jpg\" alt=\"A tax pro holding a clip board with a 1099-NEC\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Businesses must provide independent contractors and freelancers Form 1099-NEC and file it with the IRS by January 31. In prior tax years, a business needed to figure out which one of the various deadlines for Form 1099-MISC applied to their payments. The 1099-NEC simplifies that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are multiple copies \u2013 each due to different entities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Copy A: For the IRS<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Copy 1: For the state tax department<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Copy B: For recipient (contractors)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Copy 2: For the recipient\u2019s state income tax return, when required<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Copy C: For the payer<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-who-should-file-form-1099-nec\">Who should file Form 1099-NEC?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve hired a contractor (someone who is NOT a W-2 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blockadvisors.com\/resource-center\/small-business-owners\/things-consider-when-setting-employee-compensation-levels\/\">employee<\/a>) and paid at least $600 in a tax year, you should file Form 1099-NEC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In contrast, if you are a contractor, you should receive a 1099-NEC from every client who paid you at least $600 in a tax year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"What Is IRS Form 1099-NEC? | Block Advisors\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zmjVYZ62t2s?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1099-nec-vs-1099-misc\">1099-NEC vs. 1099-MISC<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what\u2019s the difference between 1099-NEC vs. 1099-MISC? The 1099-MISC is still used, but not for contractor payments. Instead, the 1099-MISC is used for rentals, royalties, certain prizes and awards, professional fees, etc. MISC is short for miscellaneous income. If you still need to report those items, you may also need to file Form 1099-MISC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1099-nec-instructions\">1099-NEC instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re a small business owner who has paid an independent contractor, thankfully, this tax form isn&#8217;t too difficult to fill out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re an independent contractor, the company that hired you will complete and send the 1099-NEC form to you.
