Retirement tax questions

Beginning in 2020, the IRS has changed the method of reporting Non-Employee Compensation, which used to be reported in Box 7 of the 1099-MISC.  It is now reported on Form 1099-NEC.

 

Regardless of your entity type (individual, trust, partnership, etc.) you must file a Form 1099-NEC, Nonemployee Compensation, for each person in the course of your business to whom you have paid the following during the year at least $600 in:

 

1. Services performed by someone who is not your employee (including parts and materials) (box 1); or

2. Payments to an attorney (box 1).
