Does the rental property owner whose manager hires repair workers paid through the manager have to send a 1099 to the repairer?

Under normal circumstances, your property manager would send a 1099-NEC to the contractor who was paid for the repairs and send a 1099-MISC to you for the rental income collected on your behalf.

 

Note that 1099s do not need to be issued to entities that are incorporated (with the possible exception of attorneys).
