So does this IRS article change the answer to the question? The most recent answer I saw is that if this is passive income then you don't have to issue a 1099-MISC, but if this is regarded as business, then the 1099-MISC has to be issued? I guess issuing the 1099-MISC shows that this is a business and you can get some benefits since this is considered a business? Also, a few screens later, TT asks if this is a QBI (Qualified Business Income). If you answer yes to this question, does this automatically mean you HAVE TO issue a 1099-MISC?
