Recently, there have been some revisions to the reporting requirements for Form 1099’s. Beginning with the tax year 2020, the IRS will require taxpayers to report nonemployee compensation on Form 1099-NEC. In previous tax years, nonemployee compensation (NEC) was reported on Form 1099-MISC. In addition, the extension for all Form 1099’s was eliminated which means the due date will be January 31. Due to the creation of Form 1099-NEC, the IRS rearranged box numbers for reporting income on Form 1099-MISC. See below for a highlight of these changes.
- Payer made direct sales of $5,000 or more (checkbox) in box 7.
- Crop insurance proceeds are reported in box 9.
- Gross proceeds to an attorney are reported in box 10.
- Section 409A deferrals are reported in box 12.
- Nonqualified deferred compensation income is reported in box 14.
- Boxes 15, 16, and 17 report state taxes withheld, state identification number, and amount of income earned in the state, respectively.
