Non-employee compensation refers to the payments made to independent contractors and vendors, these payments must be reported to the IRS. If your business hired independent contractors and/or vendors and paid them more than $600 for their services, you are required to file a Form 1099-NEC with the IRS and furnish them with a copy.
