WageFiling, LLC recently announced a change to the way non-employee compensation is reported. Up until now, businesses have used Form 1099-MISC to report calendar-year payments that have exceeded $600 to non-employees who performed business services. This includes independent contractors, freelancers, and consultants.
The new Form 1099-NEC will be used to report payments made to non-employees who performed business services. The 1099-MISC will still be used for other traditional uses. For electronic filing, the deadline for Form 1099-NEC is January 31 and the deadline for Form 1099-MISC is March 31.
This CPA Practice Advisor article discusses this new form and what companies can expect. Click HERE to access original content.
