sidework

I will serve as a consultant on a project besides my regular job and the total earnings will be above $2,000.

I wonder how to report this extra income to the IRS. I did some research online and found info about 1099-NEC. I wonder if I need to inform the organization which contracted with me to send me the 1099-NEC or if they should do it without me mentioning it. Also, if the organization for whatever reason cannot offer such a form, what should I do?

 

Thank you
