Business & farm

I want to make sure I understand.  You are the tenant, and you are in business, and you rent an office?

 

And because you are in business, and you paid more than $600 to a person (who is not an S-corp or multi-member LLC) you need to issue the landlord a 1099 of some kind?

 

In that case, everything you paid is rent.  How the landlord divides it between rent, repairs and improvements is the landlord's problem.  You certainly don't issue a 1099-NEC, because this person is not your worker or subcontractor--they did not do work for your business.
