Episode Details

1099s don’t have to be a tax season nightmare—but only if you know who actually needs one and how to file them correctly. The last thing you want is to miss a deadline, overpay taxes, or accidentally trigger an audit.

In this episode, we’re breaking down:

✔️ Who really needs a 1099 (and who doesn’t)

✔️ The difference between a 1099-NEC and a 1099-MISC

✔️ Common mistakes that lead to IRS penalties

✔️ What payment methods do and don’t require a 1099

✔️ How to stay organized so you’re not scrambling in January
