Prior to 2020, the Form 1099-NEC hadn’t been used since Disney opened EPCOT and Michael Jackson’s album Thriller was released. Beginning in 1983 the IRS combined the reporting of non-employee compensation with the 1099-MISC, and there it stayed until certain provisions in the Protecting Americans from the Tax Hikes (“PATH”) Act of 2015 caused the IRS to resurrect the 1099-NEC once again. The main impetus was a change in the deadlines affecting information reporting of compensation (whether on a W-2 or otherwise). To combater identity theft and fraud, the IRS accelerated compensation reporting to January 31 from February 28 (or March 31 if filed electronically). This meant that some 1099-MISCs would be due January 31 (i.e., those that reported non-employee compensation) and others due later. To avoid confusion, the non-employee compensation was moved back to the reintroduced Form 1099-NEC. This course will provide you with everything you need to know about this form, whether you are a payor or a recipient. 

Topics covered include:

  • The difference between 1099-NEC and 1099-MISC
  • Common misunderstandings about 1099 reporting generally
  • When 1099-NEC reporting is required
  • The difference between employees and independent contractors
  • Exceptions to the reporting requirements
  • Reporting payments made to attorneys
  • Reporting deceased employee’s wages
  • Procedures for furnishing statements to recipients of compensation

Expense Reimbursement: Expense reimbursement is a method for paying employees back when they spend their own money on business-related expenses. These expenses generally occur when an employee is traveling for business but can occur in other work-related situations. (www.thebalancecareers.com)

FATCA: FATCA was enacted in 2010 by Congress to target non-compliance by U.S. taxpayers using foreign accounts. FATCA requires foreign financial institutions (FFIs) to report to the IRS information about financial accounts held by U.S. taxpayers, or by foreign entities in which U.S. taxpayers hold a substantial ownership interest. (www.treasury.gov). FACTA (Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act) is an amendment to FCRA (Fair Credit Reporting Act ) that was added, primarily, to protect consumers from identity theft. The Act stipulates requirements for information privacy, accuracy and disposal and limits the ways consumer information can be shared.

FIRE - File Information Returns Electronically: The IRS FIRE system is the electronic network used to accept and process most types of filing forms. Technically, it stands for File Information Returns Electronically.

Fair Market Value (FMV): The term fair market value is used throughout the Internal Revenue Code among other federal statutory laws in the USA including Bankruptcy, many state laws, and several regulatory bodies.

Form 1099-NEC: In the context of 1099 tax filing, NEC stands for “Nonemployee Compensation” (the first letters of the three words None, Employee and Compensation). Most tax payers recognize NEC as box 7 on Form 1099-MISC. NEC is used to report income paid to independent-contractors / the-self-employed (referred to as 1099 employees for simplification purposes). So, while employers report income that gets paid to employees on Box 1 (Wages, tips, other compensation) of the W2 form, payers report income that gets paid to none-employees on Box 7 (NEC) of the 1099-MISC form. As an individual, if you received form 1099-MISC instead of Form W-2 then the payer did not consider you an employee and did not withhold income tax or social security and Medicare tax.

Form W-8: Form W-8 is filled out by foreign entities (citizens and corporations) in order to claim exempt status from certain tax withholdings. The form is used to declare an entity's status as non-resident alien or foreign national who works outside of the United States.

Limited Liability Company (LLC): An LLC is a corporate structure where members cannot be held accountable for the company’s debts or liabilities. This can shield business owners from losing their entire life savings if, for example, someone were to sue the company. Can be a single member (much like a sole proprietor) or a multi-member.

The safe harbor requires that separate books and records be maintained for the rental real estate enterprise.

Substantial Presence Test (SPT) : The Substantial Presence Test (SPT) is a criterion used by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in the United States to determine whether an individual who is not a citizen or lawful permanent resident in the recent past qualifies as a "resident for tax purposes" or a "nonresident for tax purposes"; it is a form of physical presence test. The SPT should be used in conjunction with the Green Card Test (the criterion that the individual possessed a valid Green Card at any time of the year). An individual who satisfies either one or both of these tests is treated as a resident for tax purposes.

TIN: A Taxpayer Identification Number is an identifying number used for tax purposes in the United States and in other countries under the Common Reporting Standard. In the United States, it is also known as a Tax Identification Number or Federal Taxpayer Identification Number.
