Get your taxes done using TurboTax

If you pay by credit card you do NOT need to issue a 1099 to the contractor since they will already be getting a 1099-K from the CC processor ... the information does not need to be duplicated by you.

 

The CC/Debit card exception has always been in place ... you only need to 1099 payments made by cash or check.  The payment is captured on your CC or bank statements to support your proof of payment.
