What is Form 1099-NEC?
IRS Form 1099-NEC is used by individuals or businesses to report the compensation paid to non-employees (self-employed, freelance, or independent contractor) of at least $600 or more during the calendar year.
Prior to 2020, non-employee compensation was reported in box no 7 of Form 1099-MISC. Now, the IRS has separated box 7 from Form 1099-MISC by reintroducing Form 1099-NEC.
Example: John, a small business owner, hired a graphic designer, Sarah, to create a logo and marketing materials for his new product line. As Sarah is a 1099 independent contractor, John paid her a total of $800 for her services over the course of the year. To ensure compliance with IRS regulations, John needs to file Form 1099-NEC to report the compensation paid to Sarah.
What is Form 1099-MISC?
Form 1099-MISC is used to report certain types of Miscellaneous payments made to non-employees for the services offered during the calendar year.

Example: Nick owns a two-story apartment building and rents out one of the units to Sarah for $400 per month. As Sarah pays her rent in cash, she is required to report this rental payment on Form 1099-MISC and send it to Nick as the landlord. This ensures that Nick properly reports the rental income on his tax return, as required by the IRS.
What is Form 1099-K?
Form 1099-K is an IRS tax return used by the payment settlement entities to report any commercial payment made to individual or business entities through payment cards (Credit/ Debit card ) or third-party network transactions (PayPal, Venmo, etc.) of at least $20,000 with over 200 transactions made during the calendar year.
Example: Sarah operates a small business selling handmade jewelry on various online platforms. Over the course of the year, her total sales through PayPal transactions amounted to $20,000.
