For Your Business
Paid a handyman, a designer, a subcontractor? If anyone crossed $600 this year, the IRS expects a 1099-NEC from you by January 31 — and the penalties for skipping it are real.
The rule, in one paragraph
If your business paid an individual or unincorporated contractor $600 or more during the year for services, you file a 1099-NEC for them. Miss the deadline and penalties start at $60 per form and climb past $310 — per contractor, per year. Most owners don’t skip it on purpose; they just never tracked who crossed the line.
The trap: you don’t discover a missing 1099 in January. You discover it in an audit, years later, with penalties and interest attached.
