@Ionnowhy Why do you need to give them a 1099NEC? You might not. What kind of firm? Did they ask you for one? You need to give a 1099NEC (previous a 1099Misc) to anyone you paid $600 or more to for the year. But not to corporations or for merchandise. You send the IRS a copy of the 1099NEC with the transmittal summary form 1096. These are due to the person by Jan 31 and to the IRS by Jan 31 also.
And it doesn't matter how you paid them by check or credit card you still do the 1099NEC if required.
