1099 Form

What is a 1099 Form?

A 1099 form is a U.S. tax document used to report various types of income you might receive throughout the year that isn’t from an employer. Common examples include earnings from freelance work, contract gigs, interest income, dividends, and more. This form helps the IRS keep track of taxable income that isn’t captured by standard employment wages reported on a W-2.

There are multiple versions of the 1099 form, with the most common ones being the 1099-NEC (Non-Employee Compensation) and 1099-MISC (Miscellaneous Income). Essentially, these forms are issued by businesses or individuals who have paid you $600 or more during the tax year, providing a record of payments that must be reported to the IRS.
