When are 1099s due?
Short Answer: 1099-NEC forms are typically due by January 31 each year.
If you paid contractors $600+ for services, you may need to issue a 1099-NEC. Deadlines can shift slightly if they fall on weekends/holidays.
Common mistakes:
• Not collecting W-9s upfront
• Waiting until late January to track payments
• Issuing 1099s to the wrong vendors
What we recommend: Collect W-9s before payment and track contractor totals monthly.
