What is a 1099 MISC used for?

• A. Subcontractors and other non-employees paid $600 or more in a calendar year; not required for corporations, general partnerships, LLPs, or LLCs; must report to EDD within 20 days
• B. Employee payroll reporting for wages
• C. Reporting corporate taxes to the IRS
• D. Reporting consumer sales tax collected

Answer: (A)

Form 1099-MISC is used to report payments you’ve made to non-employees, such as subcontractors and other service providers, when those payments total $600 or more in a calendar year. This is separate from wages paid to employees, which are reported on a W-2. It isn’t for corporate taxes or for reporting consumer sales tax. In some cases there are state-specific reporting requirements (like to the EDD in California), but the form’s main purpose is to document payments to individuals or unincorporated businesses for services.
