Do I need to provide a 1099-MISC to a friend who provided over $600 of work to me about 3 weeks prior to incorporating his business?

Yes, if your friend provided work/services to you that meets the basic rule below.

The basic rule is that you must file a 1099-MISC whenever you pay an unincorporated independent contractor — that is, an independent contractor who is a sole proprietor or member of a partnership or LLC — $600 or more in a year for work done in the course of your trade or business.

See IRS link below.
