Tax Preparation Questions
For payments made in 2026, the Form 1099-NEC reporting floor (and most 1099-MISC boxes) moves to $2,000. If your business pays contractors or other reportable recipients at or above that amount during calendar year 2026, you generally need to issue the correct 1099 forms and file them with the IRS.
