What is Form 1099-NEC
Form 1099-NEC is an old form (originally discontinued in 1982) that will separate the reporting of payments to non-employees by a company. It will be used to report any Non-Employee Compensation in lieu of the 1099-MISC form. The Form 1099-MISC will still be used for all other forms of compensation (ie – Fishing Proceeds, Rents, etc).
