There is more than one type of 1099. Choose the form that matches the payment you are reporting, then use the corresponding editor to enter payer, recipient, and payment details. A 1099 generator prepares a document; it does not determine your reporting obligations.
What You Need Before You Start
- Payer and recipient legal names, addresses, and taxpayer identification numbers.
- Payment records for the year shown on the template.
- The payment category and any actual federal or state withholding.
Use only records you are authorized to prepare. Verify the year printed on the template; a template for a different year may have different boxes or instructions.
1099-NEC or 1099-MISC?
Form 1099-NEC reports nonemployee compensation. Form 1099-MISC covers categories such as rents and royalties. The correct form depends on the payment and applicable rules. Check the official instructions for the relevant year before choosing.
