Common questions
When do I have to issue a 1099-NEC?
Generally when you pay a contractor at or above the reporting threshold during the year. The threshold depends on the tax year, so check the current rule.
Does Ledger file the forms for me?
Ledger prepares and prints the forms. You send them to the recipient and the IRS as the instructions describe.
