No, you don't need to issue a 1099-NEC for contract work under $600.  

 

If the following four conditions are met, you must generally report a payment as nonemployee compensation.

 

  1. You made the payment to someone who is not your employee;
  2. You made the payment for services in the course of your trade or business (including government agencies and nonprofit organizations);
  3. You made the payment to an individual, partnership, estate, or in some cases, a corporation; and
  4. You made payments to the payee of at least $600 during the year.

 

Here's more info on Form 1099-NEC.
