Share

Thursday, October 15, 2026 | 2:00PM-3:45PM Eastern Time

Form 1099-NEC is the foundational form almost all organizations issue. At its heart, it seems deceptively simple -- it reports payments to independent contractors. But who is a contractor? What exactly do we mean by contract labor? There are many potholes and side roads that can come into play with a seemingly simple form. This session will cover: who is a contractor; what types of payments are contract labor; proper handling of reimbursements; proper reporting of tips and overtime under new tax law; getting the form filed; and dealing with state issues.
