Well, if I , individual (not LLC, not freelancer) - get freelancer to do home remodeling or graphic design (whatever job for personal use). I Pay that freelancer 16,000$ cash.
Your answer is NO, I- individual, can not issue 1099-NEC to that freelancer.
Questions:
1. If I do not issue him that 1099-NEC, how than , that freelancer will claim 16,000$ on his taxes? (I mean, he earned that money).
2, Isn't 1099-NEC was created for this reason: so IRS knows I paid cash, this much - and that person received it?
On internet there is just general answer about it: as individual that got service for personal use You DONT NEED TO ISSUE 1099-nec to freelancer....
I dont need to....but question is: CAN I ? (and nobody can give definitive answer to this)
Thanks
