W9 vs 1099

Businesses use W-9 forms submitted by some U.S. suppliers and independent contractors to complete IRS forms 1099-NEC and 1099-MISC. W-9 forms are also required for other transactions besides reporting self-employed contractor income on 1099-NEC or 1099-MISC.

1099 NEC Instructions

Form 1099-NEC is a new form issued by the IRS beginning with the tax year 2020. In a prior year, non-employee compensation was reported on Form 1099-MISC. IRS Form 1099-MISC was redesigned to remove non-employee compensation but is still used to report other Miscellaneous Information, certain miscellaneous income payments, and any backup withholding of federal income tax.
