It depends on where you are looking for the 1099 NEC and who's issuing it.
If you are waiting on the person or company who paid you:
- They are required to issue and furnish Form 1099-NEC by January 31. This applies whether it is mailed or issued electronically.
If you are checking IRS transcripts:
- The IRS typically shows 1099 income on IRS wage and income transcripts, mid-February to early March.
You may not receive a 1099-NEC at all if:
- Your total payments were under $600
- You were paid via credit card or third-party processor
- You were paid as an employee (W2).
