1099-NEC Form vs 1099-MISC Form


1099-NEC Form
, is a form that solely reports nonemployee compensation. 1099-NEC is not a replacement for the 1099-MISC Form, it only replaces the use of 1099-MISC 
Form for reporting independent contractor payments.

Prior to 2020, you would include nonemployee compensation in Box 7 on Form 1099-MISC. In 2020, Box 7 on Form 1099-MISC will turn into “Payer made direct sales of $5,000 or more of consumer products to a buyer (recipient) for resale,” and nonemployee compensation must be reported on Form 1099-NEC instead.

Again, use Form 1099-NEC to report nonemployee compensation. Nonemployee compensation includes the following payment types to independent contractors:

  • Fees
  • Commissions
  • Prizes
  • Awards
  • Other forms of compensation for services

If you pay an independent contractor nonemployee compensation, separate nonemployee compensation payments from all of your other Form 1099-MISC payments. Starting up again in 2020, fill out Form 1099-NEC if you have any workers you paid $600 or more to in nonemployee compensation.

Where do you send Form 1099-NEC?

Like Form 1099-MISC, there are multiple copies of Form 1099-NEC you must distribute. Check out each copy and its recipient below:

  • Copy A: The IRS
  • Copy 1: State tax department, if applicable
  • Copy B: Independent contractor
  • Copy 2: Independent contractor
  • Copy C: Keep in your business records

When filling out Form 1099-NEC, include the following information:

  • Business’s name, address, and phone number
  • Business’s TIN (Taxpayer Identification Number)
  • Recipient’s name, address, and TIN
  • Total nonemployee compensation
  • Federal and state income tax withheld

What is the due date for Form 1099-NEC?

Not only do employers have to keep the new Form 1099-NEC on their radars, but they also need to mark their calendars for a new nonemployee compensation due date. Starting in 2021, send copies of Form 1099-NEC to workers you paid nonemployee compensation to during the year by February 1.

Also file Copy A with the IRS by February 1 each year.


1099-MISC
 Form, Miscellaneous Income, is an information return businesses use to report payment types, such as payments made to independent contractors. You can also use Form 1099-MISC to report other payments, like royalties and rents.

Form 1099-MISC is like Form W-2 but for independent contractors. Independent contractors use Form 1099-MISC to make tax payments based on what businesses paid them during the year. Send Form 1099-MISC to any contractors you paid $600 or more to throughout the year. Also, file Form 1099-MISC if you make any of the following payments over $600:

  • Royalties
  • Rent
  • Fishing boat proceeds
  • Medical and health care payments
  • Substitute payments in lieu of dividends or interest
  • Crop insurance proceeds
  • Excess golden parachute payments
  • Gross proceeds paid to an attorney
