1099-NEC questions, answered
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.
- How is 1099-NEC different from 1099-MISC?
- 1099-NEC: non-employee compensation (services). 1099-MISC: rent, royalties, prizes, attorney fees, fishing-boat proceeds. Most contractor payments use 1099-NEC since 2020.
- Do I need to e-file or can I mail paper 1099s?
- If you file 10+ information returns in a year (combined across all types), you must e-file per the 2024 IRS update. Fewer than 10, you can mail with Form 1096. AttachKit helps you prep the forms; you handle the filing.
- Does AttachKit also generate the recipient's copy?
- The same drafted data works for both the IRS copy and recipient Copy B. Print and mail (or email) the recipient copy by Jan 31, then file Copy A with the IRS.
