1099-NEC Introduction
The 1099-NEC (Non-Employment Compensation) form is new for the 2020 tax year. 1099-NEC is a form that solely reports non-employee compensation and is NOT a replacement for the 1099-MISC. Form 1099-NEC is only replacing the use of Form 1099-MISC for reporting independent contractor payments.
