What is Form 1099-MISC?
Form 1099-MISC is an IRS form used to report certain payments your business makes to individuals that aren't payments for services performed as an employee or contractor. Common examples include rent payments, prizes and awards, royalty payments, and other miscellaneous income outside of an employment relationship.
If you're paying someone for services as an independent contractor, that payment is generally reported on Form 1099- NEC instead. Because the rules on which form applies, and the reporting thresholds, can vary by payment type, check with your tax advisor or bookkeeper if you're unsure which form applies to a specific payment.
