I started a LLC within the tax year (2024) but got paid as an induvial as the LLC wasnt formed until after payments occured....my question is who gets the 1099, me or the newly formed business and if it is a multi member LLC, do i need to report the income as Sch C income or can i run it through the business as the payments were for services that are same as the business

Yes, you can file the income from the 1099 on your business return. If the 1099 was issued to your social security number, you will need to designate the income to the business by filing for a nominee return.
A Nominee Return is how the IRS knows what you are doing.
Generally, if you receive a Form 1099 for amounts that actually belong to another person or entity, you are considered a nominee recipient. You must file a Form 1099 with the IRS (the same type of Form 1099 you received). You must also furnish a Form 1099 to each of the other owners. File the new Form 1099 with Form 1096 (this is a transmittal for the 1099) by mailing to the Internal Revenue Service Center for your area. (Provided on the Form 1096)
On each new Form 1099, list yourself as the payer and the other owner, as the recipient. On Form 1096, list yourself as the nominee filer, not the original payer. The nominee is responsible for filing the subsequent Forms 1099 to show the amount allocable to each owner.
The forms filed with the IRS should be the red copy so if you don't have a color printer, go to the IRS website and order the forms here:
