We’ll handle the rest.
1099 forms are used to report payments made to contractors and vendors. Adams makes it easy to prepare, review, and file your 1099s accurately while staying compliant with IRS requirements.
Use a 1099-NEC for contractors
Contractors work independently. You pay them for services, and they handle their own taxes.
Common examples:
Freelancers
Consultants
Independent contractors
If you paid a contractor $600 or more, you are generally required to file a 1099-NEC.
Use a 1099-MISC for miscellaneous payments
This form reports specific types of income that aren’t reported on a 1099-NEC.
Common examples:
Rent payments
Prizes and awards
Royalties
Payments to attorneys
Other qualifying income over $600
If you made payments in these categories, you’ll need to file a 1099-MISC.
