Hi! I have a rental and I use a property management company. This year they sent me a 1099-misc and a 1099-nec. I did not personally perform any work on my property but the property management company did replace a water heater that died during 2020. I would also like to point out that the dollar amounts on both 1099 forms are the exact same? Do I have to file a 1099-nec with my taxes this year? Thanks!
Sounds like the management company may have issued one of those in error.
If you are self-employed, a freelancer, contractor, or work a side gig, you may be used to receiving Form 1099-MISC that reports your self-employed income at tax time. Beginning with tax year 2020, the IRS will require your self-employment income of $600 or more to be reported on Form 1099-NEC (non-employee compensation) instead of Form 1099-MISC, so look out for that form in the mail beginning January 31.
Since the IRS will receive a copy of both they will match each of those to your return. This could cause an adjustment in your return and a follow up letter from the IRS.
It's probably best to contact the property management company and resolve this before you file.
