An Overview of Form 1099-MISC for 2022

While Form 1099-MISC hasn’t been used for reporting non-employee compensation since the 2019 tax year, it is still one of the most common 1099 forms. This form is used to report many different types of miscellaneous payments to the IRS.

The following payments of $600 or more should be reported on 1099-MISC:

Awards and prizes
