Fill 1099-MISC online — for payers reporting non-employee compensation
Form 1099-MISC is what you (the payer) send to non-employees you paid $600+ in royalties, rents, prizes, attorney fees, and other miscellaneous categories. Note: non-employee compensation (contractors) moved to 1099-NEC in 2020 — use that instead if you're paying freelancers for services.
Who needs it: Businesses and self-employed individuals who paid $600+ in non-employee categories during the tax year. Property managers (rent), litigants (attorney fees), promoters (prizes), royalty payers.

General information, not legal or tax advice
This page is general information about a commonly-used tax form. Tax law is complex and fact-specific — for advice on your return, consult a CPA, enrolled agent, or tax attorney. AttachKit fills the PDF; the IRS holds you responsible for what's on it.
- Do I file the 1099-MISC with the IRS, or just send it to the recipient?
- Both. Recipient copy goes to the contractor by Jan 31. IRS copy goes to the IRS by Feb 28 (paper) or Mar 31 (electronic). AttachKit helps you prep the form; you handle filing via Form 1096 (paper) or FIRE / e-file provider (electronic).
- Should I use 1099-MISC or 1099-NEC?
- Non-employee compensation for services → 1099-NEC. Rent, royalties, prizes, attorney fees, fishing-boat proceeds, crop insurance → 1099-MISC. Both can apply if you have multiple payment types.
- Can I use AttachKit to receive a 1099 (as a contractor)?
- Yes — drop the PDF your client sent you into /app/fill or /app/sign. AttachKit reads it the same regardless of who issued it.
