About 1099-NEC & 1099-MISC Filing
A clear overview, in simple terms — what it is, why it matters, and how we handle it.
US businesses file Form 1099-NEC for each US non-employee contractor paid $2,000 or more for services in 2026 — the threshold rose from $600 for payments made after 2025. It is due to both the contractor and the IRS by 31 January. Collect a Form W-9 from each US contractor before paying; foreign contractors give Form W-8BEN instead and don't receive a 1099. Payment-platform reporting on Form 1099-K uses the $20,000 and 200-transaction thresholds.
Missing W-9s are the main reason 1099s are late or wrong. We set up W-9 collection with onboarding, track payments by vendor, and e-file 1099s.
Payments made by card or through payment platforms are reported by the platform on 1099-K rather than by you on 1099-NEC.
