One of the most common uses for 1099-MISC forms is to document and report independent contractor payments. From political consultants to website marketers to handymen to stylists, more and more people are essentially self-employed contractors who may or may not own a small business in the traditional sense but who also fall outside the traditional employee/employer relationship. People “who are in business for themselves” is an easy way of explaining this type of modern contract labor. Yet, skilled tradesmen have been around essentially since the dawn of civilization.
Here it is put another way: 1099-MISC forms used to be just that—a miscellaneous category of payments for goods and service. At the same time, given the ongoing trends in today’s economic workforce, it’s a major forms filing requirement for businesses that are eschewing a more traditional, employee-dominated labor force.
