Why do you need to send a 1099NEC?  If you got paid for your services then they should be sending you the 1099NEC.   You can enter your income even if you don’t get a 1099NEC.

Then enter it as Contract Labor on Schedule C line 11.

A person files Form 1099-NEC for a sub-contract or worker they paid. 

It lets the IRS know that the person they list on Form 1099-NEC needs to claim that amount as income that you paid them.

 

You would not send a person a 1099-NEC as a bill to charge for services you supplied to them. 

 

To clarify, are you trying to send a form to get paid or for reporting someone that you paid?
