About the form

- Rents, such as office space or equipment rentals (Box 1)
- Royalties of $10 or more (Box 2)

- Federal income tax withheld (Box 4)

Who files
Who needs to file it
Businesses that paid rents, prizes and awards (not for services), medical and health care payments, gross proceeds to an attorney, or other income at or above the IRS reporting threshold in the course of their trade or business — or royalties of $10 or more. Pay for services by a nonemployee goes on Form 1099-NEC instead.
Threshold change: The One Big Beautiful Bill Act raised the reporting threshold from $600 to $2,000 for payments made after December 31, 2025 (adjusted for inflation beginning in 2027). Forms reporting 2025 payments still use the $600 threshold. The $10 threshold for royalties is unchanged.

Questions
Form 1099-MISC questions
When is Form 1099-MISC due?
Recipient copies are due January 31 (February 15 if you report amounts in Box 8 or Box 10). The IRS copy is due February 28 on paper or March 31 if you e-file. Dates that fall on a weekend or legal holiday move to the next business day. For tax year 2026 forms: send to recipients by Monday, February 1, 2027; file with the IRS (electronic) by Wednesday, March 31, 2027; file with the IRS (paper) by Monday, March 1, 2027.
What is the 1099-MISC reporting threshold?
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act raised the reporting threshold from $600 to $2,000 for payments made after December 31, 2025 (adjusted for inflation beginning in 2027). Forms reporting 2025 payments still use the $600 threshold. Royalties are still reported at $10 or more.
How much does it cost to e-file Form 1099-MISC?
E-filing Form 1099-MISC with EFileForMe costs $2.89 per form for small orders and drops to $0.95 per form at higher volumes, based on the total number of forms in your order. There are no setup fees, subscriptions or contracts. Printing and mailing each recipient's copy is an optional $1.50 per form. See the pricing page for every volume tier.
What's the difference between 1099-MISC and 1099-NEC?
Form 1099-NEC is for pay for services performed by nonemployees, like independent contractors. Form 1099-MISC covers other payments: rents, royalties, prizes and awards not tied to services, medical and health care payments, gross proceeds paid to attorneys and other income.
How do I report payments to an attorney?
Fees paid to an attorney for legal services go on Form 1099-NEC. Gross proceeds paid to an attorney — for example, a settlement paid to the attorney on a client's behalf — go in Box 10 of Form 1099-MISC. Both are reportable even if the law firm is a corporation.
Do I have to e-file 1099-MISC forms?
If you file 10 or more information returns in total for the year, counting all form types together, you must file electronically. Below that, e-filing is optional.
Do I need to send Form 1096?
No. Form 1096 is only for paper filing. When you e-file through EFileForMe, no 1096 is needed.
