The IRS requires businesses to issue 1099s for certain payments to independent contractors and other vendors. For 2026, the reporting threshold for many payments has increased from $600 to $2,000. As a result, some businesses may need to issue fewer 1099s than in previous years. This change generally applies to nonemployee compensation reported on Form 1099-NEC and rents and certain other payments reported on Form 1099-MISC. The new $2,000 threshold also applies for backup-withholding purposes.
