New 1099 Reporting Requirements

New 1099 Reporting Requirements

If you typically report non-employee compensation to independent contractors on Form 1099-MISC, you will have a new form due this January.  The IRS has shifted the reporting of non-employee compensation to form 1099-NEC, in an effort to simplify the use of each form. This new form will require all applicable filers to furnish the 1099-NEC to the payee and file with the IRS.
