Should I file 1099-MISC or 1099-NEC?

The 1099-NEC is now used to report independent contractor income. But the 1099-MISC form is still around, its just used to report miscellaneous income such as rent or payments to an attorney. Although the 1099-MISC is still in use, contractor payments made in 2020 and beyond will be reported on the form 1099-NEC.

Do all contractors get a 1099?

As a general rule, when businesses pay freelancers or independent contractors more than $600 in a calendar year for work related to their trade or business they must issue the worker either a federal Form 1099-NEC or a Form 1099-MISC.
