Questions

When do I need a 1099-MISC?

For payments made in 2026 in your business: $2,000 or more in rents, prizes and awards, other income, medical and health care payments or crop insurance proceeds; $10 or more in royalties; $10 or more in substitute payments in lieu of dividends or interest; $600 or more in gross proceeds paid to an attorney; $600 or more in cash for fish purchased for resale; any fishing boat proceeds; or any federal income tax you withheld. Check box 7 for $5,000 or more of consumer products sold for resale. Before 2026 the $2,000 amounts were $600.

1099-MISC or 1099-NEC?

Pay for someone's work, such as a contractor or freelancer, goes on the 1099-NEC. Rent, royalties, prizes and the other payments listed on the form go on the 1099-MISC.

When is the 1099-MISC due?

Give the recipient their copy by January 31, or February 15 if box 8 or 10 has an amount. File with the IRS by February 28 on paper or March 31 electronically. A date on a weekend or holiday moves to the next business day.

What is Form 1096?

The cover sheet for paper 1099s sent to the IRS. The IRS says not to print and file the 1096 from its website, because a printed copy cannot be scanned. Order the official one at IRS.gov/orderforms, or file electronically, which needs no 1096.

Is what I type here saved?

No. The form is filled in your browser and nothing you type is sent to us or saved.

Form 1096

Form 1096 is the summary you send with paper 1099s. The IRS says the copy on its website is for information only and a printed one may draw a penalty, so order the official scannable form at IRS.gov/orderforms. If you file 10 or more information returns in a year, you must file them electronically, and electronic filing needs no 1096.

Before you pay someone

Get their W-9 first. Paying a contractor for their work? Use the 1099-NEC instead. Your business needs its own EIN for the payer box.
