I used a subcontractor this year and i want to send him 1099 form, but i donot have his SSN or EIN. Which form and how do i do this. Please advise.

You will need to send him either a 1099-NEC or 1099-MISC form.  Please see the link below for steps on how to generate this form by using TurboTax.

Creating 1099 Forms

You will need to contact him to get his Social Security Number or Tax Identification Number.  You can use the link below to request this information from your subcontractor by using Form W-9.

Instructions for Form W-9

Hello Jotika,

Thank you so much for your response :-). I have tried earlier to get SSN or TIN number from the subcontractor but he has not responded, but i have his contact details (phone number and address). Please advise.

You should submit the form 1099-NEC manually and leave the identification number blank. The IRS will send you a notice explaining that the number is missing and that the subcontractor is subject to backup withholding in the future. You will then send that notice to the subcontractor with a W-9 form and backup withholding notice. That is all you can do.
