New Form 1099-NEC . The
PATH Act accelerated the due date for filing Form 1099 that included
nonemployee compensation (NEC) to January 31, and Treasury Regulations
eliminated the automatic 30-day extension of time to file for forms that
include NEC. To avoid additional burden on filers to separately report NEC by
January 31, and other payments by February 28 (by March 31 (if filing
electronically)), we have created new Form 1099-NEC. Use Form 1099-NEC to
report nonemployee compensation and file by February 1, 2021, with the IRS. For
more information, see the Instructions for Forms 1099-MISC and
1099-NEC.
