Instructions for Recipient

You received this form instead of Form W-2 because the payer did not consider you an employee and did not withhold income tax or social security and Medicare tax.

If you believe you are an employee and cannot get the payer to correct this form, report the amount shown in box 1 on the line for “Wages, salaries, tips, etc.” of Form 1040, 1040-SR, or 1040-NR. You must also complete Form 8919 and attach it to your return. For more information, see Pub. 1779, Independent Contractor or Employee.

If you are not an employee but the amount in box 1 is not self- employment (SE) income (for example, it is income from a sporadic activity or a hobby), report the amount shown in box 1 on the “Other income” line (on Schedule 1 (Form 1040)).

Recipient’s taxpayer identification number (TIN). For your protection, this form may show only the last four digits of your TIN (social security number (SSN), individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN), adoption taxpayer identification number (ATIN), or employer identification number (EIN)). However, the issuer has reported your complete TIN to the IRS.

Account number. May show an account or other unique number the payer assigned to distinguish your account.

Box 1. Shows nonemployee compensation. If the amount in this box is SE income, report it on Schedule C or F (Form 1040) if a sole proprietor, or on Form 1065 and Schedule K-1 (Form 1065) if a partnership, and the recipient/partner completes Schedule SE (Form 1040).

Note: If you are receiving payments on which no income, social security, and Medicare taxes are withheld, you should make estimated tax payments. See Form 1040-ES (or Form 1040-ES (NR)). Individuals must report these amounts as explained in these box 1 instructions. Corporations, fiduciaries, and partnerships must report these amounts on the appropriate line of their tax returns.

Box 2. If checked, consumer products totaling $5,000 or more were sold to you for resale, on a buy-sell, a deposit-commission, or other basis. Generally, report any income from your sale of these products on Schedule C (Form 1040).

Box 3. Reserved for future use.

Box 4. Shows backup withholding. A payer must backup withhold on certain payments if you did not give your TIN to the payer. See Form W-9, Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification, for information on backup withholding. Include this amount on your income tax return as tax withheld.

Boxes 5–7. State income tax withheld reporting boxes.

Misconceptions

Here are ten common misconceptions about the 1099-NEC form, along with clarifications to help you understand its purpose and requirements.

Only employees receive a 1099-NEC. This form is for nonemployees, such as independent contractors. Employees receive a W-2 instead.
You can print the 1099-NEC from any website. You must use the official IRS version for Copy A. Other copies can be printed, but Copy A must be scannable.
All payments are reported on the 1099-NEC. Only nonemployee compensation is reported here. Other types of payments may require different forms.
There is no penalty for using the wrong form. Filing with the IRS using a non-scannable form can lead to penalties. Always ensure you use the correct version.
Backup withholding is optional. If you do not provide your Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN), the payer is required to withhold taxes.
The 1099-NEC is only for federal tax purposes. State taxes may also be reported on this form, depending on the jurisdiction.
You don’t need to report income if you receive a 1099-NEC. All reported income must be included on your tax return, even if no taxes were withheld.
You can ignore the 1099-NEC if you don’t agree with it. If you believe the information is incorrect, you should address it with the payer and report the correct amount on your tax return.
Filing electronically is not an option. You can file the 1099-NEC electronically using the IRS FIRE system, which is efficient and secure.
All copies of the 1099-NEC are the same. Each copy serves a different purpose. Copy A is for the IRS, while Copy B is for the recipient.

Understanding these misconceptions can help you navigate your tax responsibilities more effectively. Always consult with a tax professional if you have specific questions or concerns regarding your situation.

Documents used along the form

The 1099-NEC form is essential for reporting nonemployee compensation to the IRS. However, it is often used in conjunction with several other important documents that help clarify tax obligations and reporting requirements. Here are four forms that frequently accompany the 1099-NEC:

Form W-9: This form is used by a business to request the taxpayer identification number (TIN) of a contractor or vendor. It ensures that the payer has the correct information to report payments made to the recipient accurately.
California Durable Power of Attorney: This essential document enables someone to manage your financial affairs if you're unable to do so, making it crucial for proper planning. For more information, visit the Durable Power of Attorney.
Form 1096: This is a summary form that accompanies paper filings of 1099 forms. It provides the IRS with a summary of all 1099 forms being submitted, including the total number of forms and the total dollar amount reported.
Form 1040: This is the individual income tax return form used by taxpayers to report their annual income. Recipients of 1099-NEC forms must report their nonemployee compensation on this form, ensuring compliance with tax obligations.
Form 8919: If a worker believes they were misclassified as an independent contractor instead of an employee, they may use this form to report their income and pay self-employment taxes. It helps clarify the worker's status for tax purposes.

Understanding these related forms can help ensure that both payers and recipients fulfill their tax obligations accurately and efficiently. Proper documentation not only aids in compliance but also helps avoid potential penalties from the IRS.
