I am a small business owner and used some independent contractor's in 2023, so do I send them a 1099-NEC or a 1099-MISC?

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.

To prepare W2 and 1099s you need either the online Premium version or the Desktop Home & Business program or the separate Desktop Turbo Tax Business program if you need to file a 1120 or 1065 Business return.
