Non employee compensation is defined as work performed during the tax year by a business (your) to provide services to another business (the one that pays you) . You must report non-employee compensation on a 1040 Schedule C, and pay the SE (16.3% Medicare and Social security tax) for the work preformed during the tax year. On Schedule C you can deduct your expenses (materials, supplies, etc) that were necessary to preform the work. It cannot report payment for any work preformed in a prior year.
