You need to give a 1099NEC to anyone you paid $600 or more to for the year. But not to corporations or for merchandise. You send the IRS a copy of the 1099NEC with the transmittal summary form 1096. These are due to the person by Jan 31 and to the IRS by Jan 31 also.

If you operate a business and paid an independent contractor more than $600 during the year, you are required to provide them with a form 1099-NEC and file these forms with the IRS by February 2, 2026.

There are penalties for missing the filing deadline.
