Who needs a 1099-NEC?
For payments made in 2026, businesses generally file a 1099-NEC for each nonemployee paid $2,000 or more during the year. The threshold was $600 for 2025 and earlier payments.
Due dates
Copy B to each contractor and Copy A to the IRS are both due by February 1, 2027 (January 31 falls on a Sunday). Send Copy A with Form 1096 when you file on paper.
Why buy printed forms? The IRS and SSA scan Copy A of paper 1099s and W-3s, so it must be the official red-ink form. A copy printed from the IRS website isn't accepted for filing.
Filing 10 or more returns? If your business files 10 or more information returns in a year (all 1099s and W-2s counted together), the IRS requires you to file them electronically. You still need printed copies for your recipients and employees.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between a 1099-NEC and a 1099-MISC?
Use the 1099-NEC for pay to contractors and freelancers. Use the 1099-MISC for rents, royalties, prizes and other miscellaneous income. You can find 1099-MISC forms on our 1099-MISC, INT & DIV page.
Do I need envelopes?
The kits include self-seal double-window envelopes that fit the forms, so no addressing is needed. The 4-part forms-only pack has no envelopes; add 3-up envelopes from our transmittals and envelopes page.
Will these work with my accounting software?
They use the standard IRS layout. Check your software's form settings and print a test page on plain paper first.
We sell the forms but can't give tax advice. For questions about what to report, see irs.gov or your tax professional.
