1099-NEC Due Date

Posted on by

Business taxpayers are required to file Form 1099-NEC by the due date to avoid late filing penalties.

Form 1099 NEC Deadlines / Due Dates 

Action  Deadline 
Furnish Copy B to Recipient  January 31 of the following year 
File Copy A with the IRS (Paper Filing)  January 31 of the following year 
File Copy A with the IRS (Electronic Filing)  March 31 of the following year if filing electronically 

Who must file 1099-NEC? 

Businesses and individuals are now required to complete a 1099-NEC form, also known as Non-employee Compensation, for reporting payments of $600 or more made to non-employee individuals or businesses. This new form has replaced the information that was previously reported on Form 1099-MISC in Box 7. 

Form 1099 NEC – Eligibilities and Liabilities 

You must complete and send a 1099-NEC form to any independent contractors or businesses to whom you paid $600 or more in fees, commissions, prizes, awards, or any other compensation for services provided to your business. 

  • Businesses: If you are a business owner and have made such payments to non-employees, you must file Form 1099-NEC to report these payments to both the IRS and the recipient. 
  • Individuals: If you are a self-employed individual or a freelancer who has made payments of $600 or more to non-employee service providers, you are also obligated to file Form 1099-NEC.

Exceptions: Who isn’t required to issue a 1099-NEC? 

You do not have to issue a 1099-NEC in the following cases: 

  • If your payment was for physical products or goods rather than services. 
  • If the business you paid is classified as a C corporation or S Corporation, except when the payment was for medical or health care services or attorney services. The IRS provides specific circumstances for when a 1099-NEC should or should not be issued to a corporation. 
  • If the business is an LLC but operates as a sole proprietorship. If you are uncertain about a business’s classification, you can refer to the Form W-9 you should have received from the vendor when you began working with them. 

What are the penalties for a business failing to meet a 1099-NEC deadline? 

Businesses are typically obligated to report payments and compensation provided to non-employees and specific vendors through the use of 1099 forms. If you receive income from sources other than regular wages or salaries, you may expect to receive a Form 1099-MISC or Form 1099-NEC. Generally, the income documented on these forms is subject to federal and state income taxes for the recipient.  

If a business fails to furnish a Form 1099-NEC or 1099-MISC by the specified deadline, the penalty amount in 2022 can range from $50 to $280 per form, depending on how long after the deadline the business provides the form. Small businesses have a yearly maximum penalty limit.

However, if a business deliberately disregards the obligation to furnish an accurate payee statement, it becomes subject to a minimum penalty of $570 per form in 2022 or 10% of the income reported on the form, without an upper limit.

Do I still need to File Form 1099-MISC? 

 Now that we’re using Form 1099-NEC for non-employee compensation, you might wonder if Form 1099-MISC is still necessary. Well, it does have a role! 

You’ll still use Form 1099-MISC if you’ve paid someone at least $10 in royalties or $600 or more for things like rent, prizes, awards, or other income payments. It’s also used for various other payments, including those to lawyers and certain types of compensation. 

However, keep in mind that Form 1099-MISC now looks a bit different because non-employee compensation is on Form 1099-NEC. For example, Box 7, which used to have non-employee compensation, is now reporting direct sales of over $5,000. So, it has changed a bit, but not too much. 

Just remember that Form 1099-MISC has a different deadline. You need to give it to the people you’re paying by January 31, but you have until February 28 (or March 31 if filing online) to send it to the IRS.
