  • Hiring a handyman

    From Stan Brown@21:1/5 to All on Wed Dec 6 13:44:44 2023
    Usually I can get some idea of an answer from the IRS website, but
    this time I couldn't make head or tail of the requirements for
    issuing forms 1099.

    I'm going to hire(*) a handyman this month, and I need to know under
    what circumstances (if any) I must issue a 1099-NEC or 1099-MISC
    showing how much I paid him.

    In case it matters, handymanning is a side gig for him; he also has a
    regular full-time job in landscaping.

    (*) Not as an employee, just some odd jobs around my house.

    Forms 1099-NEC and 1099-MISC are for "trade or business
    reporting only. . . . only when payments are made in the
    course of your trade or business." For work on your home you
    do not issue a 1099. (The quote is from the 1099-MISC and
    1099-NEC instructions.)

    Thanks, Bob. I don't know I missed that.
