1099 Form Independent Contractor

Which 1099 form is for independent contractors?

If you paid someone who is not your employee, such as a subcontractor, attorney or accountant $600 or more for services provided during the year, a Form 1099-NEC needs to be completed, and a copy of 1099-NEC must be provided to the independent contractor by January 31 of the year following payment.

What is the difference between 1099 and independent contractor?

The employer withholds income taxes from the employee’s paycheck and has a significant degree of control over the employee’s work.

What is difference between 1099-MISC and 1099-NEC?

Form 1099-MISC differs from Form 1099-NEC in one distinct way. A business will only use a Form 1099-NEC if it is reporting nonemployee compensation. If a business needs to report other income, such as rents, royalties, prizes, or awards paid to third parties, it will use Form 1099-MISC.

How do I fill out a 1099 for a contractor?

 

 

What’s the difference between a Form W-2 and a Form 1099-MISC or Form 1099-NEC?

Although these forms are called information returns, they serve different functions.

Employers use Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement to:

Report wages, tips, and other compensation paid to an employee.
Report the employee’s income and social security taxes withheld and other information.
Employers furnish the Form W-2 to the employee and the Social Security Administration. The Social Security Administration shares the information with the Internal Revenue Service.

Payers use Form 1099-MISC, Miscellaneous Income or Form 1099-NEC, Nonemployee Compensation to:

Report payments made of at least $600 in the course of a trade or business to a person who’s not an employee for services (Form 1099-NEC).
Report payments of $10 or more made in the course of a trade or business in gross royalties or payments of $600 or more made in the course of a trade or business in rents or for other specified purposes (Form 1099-MISC).
Report payment information to the IRS and the person or business that received the payment.
