What is 1099-NEC: Nonemployee Compensation

IRS Form 1099-NEC (Nonemployee Compensation )is the newly implemented form for filing taxes for self-employed individuals. The IRS has directed that starting from the 2020 tax year, employers of labour and organizations will be required to use the 1099-NEC Form. This will be for recording and reporting the income and compensation of non-employees, independent contractors, or freelancers. For payments to non-employees over $600, employers and business taxpayers will have to use the 1099-NEC Form.

Form 1099-NEC is not a replacement for Form 1099-MISC. Form 1099-NEC is only replacing the use of 1099-MISC for reporting independent contractor payments if the company made payments with a total of $600 or more to a non-employee.

Non-employee compensation can include:

  • Fees or Benefits or Commissions or Rents
  • Prizes and awards for services performed by a non-employee
  • Other forms of compensation for services performed for your trade or business by an individual who is not your employee
  • Small businesses or 409A attorneys

IRS 1099-NEC vs 1099 MISC: Explained

Here you need to know about the difference between IRS Forms 1099-NEC and 1099 MISC in detail to E-file your returns. Prior to the restoration of Form 1099-NEC, the 1099 MISC Form has been the sole tax filing form for employers for years. The IRS re-established an IRS1099 NEC after decades to make a distinction between payments to third-party contractors and miscellaneous income.

The re-establishment of the 1099-NEC Form does not spell the end for the 1099-MISC Form they now serve separate purposes. The major difference is that Form 1099 MISC can be used to report diverse kinds of payments made other than business transactions between businesses and contractors. On the other hand, Form 1099 NEC 2022 is specifically for trade or business transactions with individuals that are not on a business's payroll. Some of the payments and incentives that can be reported in the 1099 NEC Form include fees, commissions, gift items, awards of recognition, etc.

Guide to Understand 1099-NEC Tax Form

1099 NEC Form contains two copies. These two copies are categorized into Copy A and Copy B.

Copy A is the copy that will be sent to the IRS, while

Copy B will be sent to the business's contractor albeit with their consent.

The 1099-NEC Form can be mailed directly to the IRS or filed.

Both payer and recipient information includes the filer’s name, address, and taxpayer ID. Non-employee compensation can be found in Box 1 including the total compensation for the past tax year.

Box 4 is to report any federal income tax withheld, as it's uncommon that this will be the case unless the filer has received a backup withholding order for that filer. If the filer’s state has an income tax, include the total payment amount to that filer for the year and any state tax you withheld in Box 5.

Self-employed individuals should not see personal payments made to them during the year on the new form. Instead, the filer's form should report payments made as compensation related to the company's trade or business.

If you are self-employed:

  • You can expect to receive this new form from a business that pays $600 or more for non-employee compensation in the 2021 tax year or later.
  • You should receive these forms by January 31 every year (if January 31 falls on a weekend, then you will receive it the following business day) and use them to prepare your tax return.
