You must give each independent contractor you paid $600 or more Form 1099-NEC (Nonemployee Compensation) by January 31, 2026.
Notes: collect a completed Form W-9 (TIN) beforehand, and if payments were made through a third-party payment processor (e.g., PayPal, card networks) the processor may issue a 1099-K instead. You also must file the 1099-NEC with the IRS (generally by Jan 31).
