Form 1099 NEC was retired around 1983 and was reintroduced for the tax year 2020 for business and individual 1099 filing needs to address confusion created by the PATH (Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes) Act of 2015. The PATH act created different due dates for different types of income reported on Form 1099 MISC, leading to confusion for filers and possible penalties for late filings. It also increased the risk of tax fraud for many employers due to the urgency to file the forms with little attention to detail. The IRS further required two filings of the 1099-MISC form from 2018: one filing for forms that contained information in Box 7 and another for the remaining boxes. Due to these multiple forms, there were penalties if a form with Box 7 information was filed incorrectly. To make matters more complex, there were multiple filing dates. Forms with Box 7 information were due on the last day of January, while Forms 1099-MISC with no Box 7 information were due by the last day of February for paper filers and the last day of March for electronic filers.

  7. From the tax year 2020, IRS decided to fix these complications by reintroducing the 1099-NEC and a consistent due date of the last day of January for both paper and electronic filers, with no option of automatic extension. What is the required information to complete Form 1099-NEC? Form 1099-NEC has Payer’s information (Name, Address, and TIN), Receiver’s information(Name, Address, and TIN) and the boxes to report Box 1 (non-employee compensation), Box 4 (Federal Tax withheld), and Boxes 5-7 (State information). Use Box 1 to enter the Non-Employee Compensation for $600 or more. Use Box 4 to enter the backup withholding information. When is it compulsory to E-File Form 1099-NEC? If you plan to file 250 or more 1099-NEC payments, the IRS requires you send them electronically and can penalize your business if you don’t. If you’re filing 250 or fewer, send by regular mail. Why the change to Form 1099-NEC Filing? Under the previous IRS system, independent contractors had to file their yearly expenses by Jan. 31. But here’s the catch: Enterprises didn’t have to report non-employment compensation until one month later.
