問題 What's the difference between a Form W-2 and a Form 1099-MISC or Form 1099-NEC? 答案 Although these forms are called information returns, they serve different functions. Employers use Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement to: Report wages, tips, or other compensation paid to an employee. Report the employee's income, Social Security, and Medicare taxes withheld and other information. Employers furnish the Form W-2 to the employee and the Social Security Administration (SSA). The SSA shares the information with the Internal Revenue Service. Payers use Form 1099-MISC, Miscellaneous Information and/or Form 1099-NEC, Nonemployee Compensation to: Report any amount of federal income tax withheld under the backup withholding rules (Form 1099-MISC or Form 1099-NEC). Report payments of $10 or more made in the course of a business in royalties or broker payments in lieu of dividends or tax-exempt interest (Form 1099-MISC). Report payments of $600 or more made in the course of a business in rents, prizes and awards, other income and for other specified purposes, including gross proceeds paid to an attorney (Form 1099-MISC). Report payments of at least $600 in the course of a business to a person who's not an employee for services, including payments to an attorney (Form 1099-NEC). Report sales totaling $5,000 or more of consumer products to a person on a buy-sell, a deposit-commission, or other commission basis for resale (Form 1099-MISC or Form 1099-NEC). Payers file Forms 1099-MISC and 1099-NEC with the IRS and provide them to the person or business that received the payment. 額外的訊息 Tax Topic 752 - Filing Forms W-2 and W-3 General Instructions for Forms W-2 and W-3 General Instructions for Certain Information Returns Instructions for Forms 1099-MISC and 1099-NEC, Miscellaneous Income and Nonemployee Compensation E-file Forms 1099 with IRIS Filing Information Returns Electronically (FIRE) 類別 Small business, self-employed, other business 子類別 Form 1099-NEC and independent contractors
