<p>In the United States, <b>Form 1099-MISC</b> is a variant of <a href="Form_1099" title="Form 1099">Form 1099</a> used to report miscellaneous income. One notable use of Form 1099-MISC was to report amounts paid by a business (including nonprofits<sup id="cite_ref-i1099msc_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-i1099msc-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Page / location: 1">: 1 </span></sup>) to a non-corporate US resident <a href="Independent_contractor" class="mw-redirect" title="Independent contractor">independent contractor</a> for services (in IRS terminology, such payments are <i>nonemployee compensation</i>), but starting tax year 2020, this use was moved to the separate <a href="Form_1099-NEC" class="mw-redirect" title="Form 1099-NEC">Form 1099-NEC</a>. The ubiquity of the form has also led to use of the phrase "1099 workers" or "the 1099 economy" to refer to the independent contractors themselves.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Other uses of Form 1099-MISC include rental income, royalties, and <a href="Native_American_gaming" title="Native American gaming">Native American gaming profits</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-efile_howto_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-efile_howto-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Use_cases">Use cases</h2></div>
<p>There are several use cases of Form 1099-MISC. Whether an income is taxable and whether it should be reported on Form 1099-MISC are distinct questions. There may be other forms, such as <a href="Form_W-2" title="Form W-2">Form W-2</a> (for wages) or Form <a href="Form_1099-K" title="Form 1099-K">1099-K</a> (for payments made with a credit card) that must be filed instead.<sup id="cite_ref-i1099msc_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-i1099msc-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Business–contractor_arrangement">Business–contractor arrangement</h3></div>
<p>One common use of Form 1099-MISC was to report payments by a business to US resident independent contractors before the reintroduction of <a href="Form_1099-NEC" class="mw-redirect" title="Form 1099-NEC">Form 1099-NEC</a> in tax year 2020. For the purpose of this form, "business" includes nonprofits and other organizations.<sup id="cite_ref-i1099msc_1-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-i1099msc-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Page / location: 1">: 1 </span></sup> In this case Form 1099-MISC needs to be issued only when the total amount paid during the tax year is at least $600, though the Form may still be issued at lower amounts.<sup id="cite_ref-efile_howto_3-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-efile_howto-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This is the case even if individual payment amounts are all less than $600. However, since Form 1099-MISC only concerns payments made to an individual as an independent contractor, if an individual becomes an employee later (see below), the $600 threshold need be met only for part of work done as an independent contractor.
</p><p>In a business–contractor arrangement, the following must apply:
</p>
<ul><li>Payer must be a business and not a private individual; personal payments should not be reported using this form.</li>
<li>Payee must not be a business or employee (so must be a contract worker). Employee payments are covered by Form W-2.</li>
<li>In general, payment must be in exchange for services rendered, although there are exceptions like oil and gas payments.<sup id="cite_ref-i1099msc_1-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-i1099msc-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Page / location: 7">: 7 </span></sup></li></ul>
<p>It is possible for a payee to start as a contractor and later become an employee. It is also possible for a payee to maintain two jobs—one as a contractor and the other as an employee—under the same payer. In these cases, the payee can receive both Form 1099-MISC and Form W-2.<sup id="cite_ref-chron_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-chron-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-hrmorning_9-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-hrmorning-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Other_use_cases">Other use cases</h3></div>
<p>Other uses of Form 1099-MISC include rental income, royalties, and <a href="Native_American_gaming" title="Native American gaming">Native American gaming profits</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-efile_howto_3-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-efile_howto-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Payments_made_through_third-party_networks">Payments made through third-party networks</h3></div>
<p>When payments are made through third-party networks, filing Form 1099-MISC is not required. Instead, <a href="Form_1099-K" title="Form 1099-K">Form 1099-K</a> will be filed by the payment service.<sup id="cite_ref-smallbiz_10-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-smallbiz-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Nonresident_payee">Nonresident payee</h3></div>
<p>A major difference exists for personal payments when the payee is a nonresident for tax purposes (including undocumented alien). In this case, <a href="Form_1042" title="Form 1042">Form 1042-S</a> is usually issued in place of Form 1099-MISC. However, there are a few key differences:
</p>
<ul><li>Form 1099-MISC usually do not require any withholding, except in cases where the payee does not provide a correct Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN), the payee has been reported for underpayment, or there has been a payee certification failure.<sup id="cite_ref-p515_11-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-p515-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In contrast, Form 1042-S is accompanied by tax withholding.<sup id="cite_ref-withholding-1042_12-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-withholding-1042-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li>
<li>Form 1099-MISC needs to be filed only if $600 or more is being paid.<sup id="cite_ref-efile_howto_3-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-efile_howto-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> However, Form 1042-S needs to be filed for any payment.</li>
<li>In case of payment for personal services (i.e., payment for services that fall outside a business−contractor arrangement, such as payment for household help), no Form 1099-MISC needs to be issued if the payee is a resident alien, but Form 1042-S must be issued in the case of nonresident payees.<sup id="cite_ref-pers_serv_13-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-pers_serv-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li></ul>
<ul><li>Form 1099-Misc needs to be provided for Royalties of $10 or more.</li></ul>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Significance_for_payer">Significance for payer</h2></div>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Liability">Liability</h3></div>
<p>If the payer does not file Form 1099-MISC, there is a maximum penalty of $250 per form not filed, up to $500,000 per year. Otherwise for late filings the penalty varies from $30 to $100, depending on how late the filing was.<sup id="cite_ref-penalties_5-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-penalties-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Relation_with_payer's_tax_filing">Relation with payer's tax filing</h3></div>
<p>There is no precise match between total amount paid from Form 1099-MISCs issued and any line item in the profit/loss report, because of the constraint of not reporting money paid when the amount to an individual is less than $600. However, IRS may get suspicious if the profit/loss report suggests a large amount of money paid to independent contractors but few or no Form 1099-MISCs reported.
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Significance_for_payee">Significance for payee</h2></div>
<p>As part of their tax return, independent contractor payees will usually complete a Schedule C (amount from Schedule C will go on line 12 of <a href="Form_1040" title="Form 1040">Form 1040</a>), and Schedule SE (amount from Schedule SE will affect Lines 27 and 57 of Form 1040, and in particular will influence the calculation of <a href="Social_Security_(United_States)" title="Social Security (United States)">Social Security</a> and <a href="Medicare_(United_States)" title="Medicare (United States)">Medicare</a> taxes).
</p><p>Payees receiving Form 1099-MISC for rents and royalties usually need to fill Schedule E (amount from this will go to line 17 of Form 1040).<sup id="cite_ref-penalties_5-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-penalties-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Since the IRS receives Form 1099-MISCs from the payer, if the payee reports a smaller total than the sum of Form 1099-MISCs, the IRS can get suspicious. However, the sum of Form 1099-MISC amounts may not cover all of the payee's income as an independent contractor (due to payers who do not issue the form because of the $600 threshold or because of tax error on the payer's part, and also due to personal payments, which are not reportable on Form 1099-MISC). The payee still has a responsibility to pay taxes for the total amount.
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Liability_2">Liability</h3></div>
<p>There is a penalty to the payee for not paying income tax for the income referenced by Form 1099-MISC. The penalty is up to 20% of the underpayment.<sup id="cite_ref-penalties_5-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-penalties-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Withholding_and_estimated_tax_payment">Withholding and estimated tax payment</h3></div>
<p>Form 1099 need not be attached to the payee's tax return if no tax was withheld.<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In general, payer-sent forms are used to substantiate claims of withholding, so only forms that involve withholding need to be attached.
</p><p>In almost all cases, income associated with Form 1099-MISC is not subject to withholding. However, income from <a href="Indian_Gaming_Regulatory_Act#Three_classes" title="Indian Gaming Regulatory Act">class II or class III gaming</a> as an Indian tribal member must be withheld.<sup id="cite_ref-i1099msc_1-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-i1099msc-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Page / location: 4">: 4 </span></sup>
</p><p>Withholding requirements are different for nonresident payees, in which case <a href="Form_1042-S" class="mw-redirect" title="Form 1042-S">Form 1042-S</a> is used instead.
</p><p>Individuals whose income is primarily from Form 1099-MISC therefore need to send estimated tax payments through the <a href="Electronic_Federal_Tax_Payment_System" title="Electronic Federal Tax Payment System">Electronic Federal Tax Payment System</a> (EFTPS) or by paper-filing Form 1040-ES with a check.
</p><p>Even those who do not need to pay income tax may still owe some <a href="Social_Security_(United_States)" title="Social Security (United States)">social security</a> or <a href="Medicare_(United_States)" title="Medicare (United States)">Medicare</a> taxes.<sup id="cite_ref-15" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> So very low-income individuals who are self-employed may need to file returns whereas comparable individuals who work as an employee (whose income is withheld) may not.
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2></div>
<p>In 1918, Form 1099 was created by the Internal Revenue Service for use with the 1917 tax year.<sup id="cite_ref-history_16-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-history-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> At the time, employers were required to use the form to report salaries paid in excess of $800.<sup id="cite_ref-history_16-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-history-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Relation_to_Form_1099-K">Relation to Form 1099-K</h2></div>
<p><a href="Form_1099-K" title="Form 1099-K">Form 1099-K</a> "Payment Card and Third Party Network Transactions" is a variant of Form 1099 used to report payments received through reportable payment card transactions (such as <a href="Debits_and_credits" title="Debits and credits">debit</a>, <a href="Credit_card" title="Credit card">credit</a>, or <a href="Stored-value_card" title="Stored-value card">stored-value cards</a>) or settlement of third-party payment network transactions.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_17-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-17"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>17<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Form 1099-K is sent out to payees by a payment settlement entity (such as a bank) if there are more than 200 such transactions and the gross payments exceed $20,000.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_17-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-17"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>17<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>The instructions for Form 1099-MISC include a provision that says payments made with payment cards or third-party network transactions must be reported on Form 1099-K by the payment settlement entity, and that the payer does not need to issue a Form 1099-MISC in this case.<sup id="cite_ref-forbes_k_18-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-forbes_k-18"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>18<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-:3_19-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:3-19"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>19<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>This provision creates a tax loophole. Before Form 1099-K existed, payment card transactions or settlement of third-party payment network transactions totaling at least $600 required the payer to file a Form 1099-MISC. However, with this provision, a party getting paid through payment card or third-party payment network transactions, seeking to avoid paying taxes, can simply opt to avoid meeting either or both the 200 transaction and $20,000 minimum threshold needed to file Form 1099-K.<sup id="cite_ref-forbes_k_18-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-forbes_k-18"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>18<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Even if a party does not seek to avoid paying taxes, if they fail to meet either threshold criteria for filing Form 1099-K, they simply may receive neither a Form 1099-K from the payment settlement entity nor a Form 1099-MISC from the payer. As of 2016 this remains a problem.<sup id="cite_ref-:3_19-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:3-19"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>19<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-20" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-20"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>20<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Even with this provision, many payers still choose to file Form 1099-MISC. This means that if the payee meets the minimum threshold for receiving Form 1099-K, they may actually receive both Form 1099-MISC and Form 1099-K and possibly over-report their payments. In any case, this provision necessitates tracking payments separately.<sup id="cite_ref-smallbiz_10-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-smallbiz-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
