Hopefully you gave them the new 1099NEC.  It replaces the 1099Misc for contractors.

 

If you paid anyone $600 or more you need to give them a 1099NEC (was a 1099Misc).  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.

 

That is Contract Labor on Schedule C line 11.
