Clearing the Confusion: 1099-MISC or 1099-NEC?

The IRS has released form 1099-NEC (Non-Employee Compensation) to replace form 1099-MISC for reporting non-employee compensation (Box 7). This change shifts the role of the 1099-MISC for reporting all other types of compensation and you should now use the 1099-MISC for non-box 7 reporting.

The type of payments typically required to be reported on this form include royalties, rent, prizes and awards. You must also file Form 1099-MISC for anyone from whom you withheld federal income tax under the backup withholding rules, regardless of the amount. In some cases, you will need to file both a 1099-NEC and a 1099-MISC for the same individual.
