Understanding Form 1099-NEC

The 1099-NEC (Non-Employee Compensation) replaced the 1099-MISC for reporting payments to independent contractors. If you paid a freelancer more than $600 in a year, you need this form. Conversely, if you are a freelancer, this serves as your proof of income.

Proof of Income for Contractors

Unlike W-2 employees, contractors don't get regular paystubs. A series of 1099 forms from your clients serves as your "annual paystub," proving your income history to mortgage lenders and leasing agents.
