Form 1099-NEC reports compensation paid to a person who was not treated as an employee for services performed in the course of a trade or business. The payer furnishes a statement to the recipient and separately handles the official IRS filing.
For payments made in 2026, the general reporting threshold is $2,000, with exceptions such as backup withholding regardless of the payment amount. The threshold does not determine whether the recipient’s income is taxable.
Employees generally receive Form W-2, which reports wages and payroll tax withholding. Independent contractors generally receive one or more information returns, such as Form 1099-NEC for nonemployee compensation.
Worker status depends on the actual working relationship, not the label on a document. Gig platforms may issue Form 1099-NEC, Form 1099-K, or both depending on the payment type; StubProof does not classify workers.
StubProof renders Copy B for the recipient and optional Copy 2 for a state tax return. Both copies use the same verified payer, recipient, and payment data entered in the editor.
Copy A is not created or filed. The payer remains responsible for furnishing required statements and submitting the official information return through IRIS or another compliant filing method.
Built for careful recordkeeping

Payer TIN, recipient TIN, and account-number fields remain in live page state, are excluded from saved browser drafts, and are not sent to the server by the editor.
Your data is placed into the official fillable PDF fields instead of a hand-drawn HTML approximation.
Clear answers
How recipient copies work, which threshold applies in 2026, and where official IRS filing still belongs.
Form 1099-NEC reports nonemployee compensation paid in the course of a trade or business. A payer furnishes the recipient statement, and the recipient uses the reported amount when preparing their tax records.
Drivers classified as independent contractors generally receive 1099 information rather than a W-2. Depending on the platform and payment type, that may be Form 1099-NEC, Form 1099-K, or both, so check the forms the platform actually issued.
A 1099 can support proof of nonemployee income for a completed tax year. A landlord, lender, or other recipient may also request tax returns, bank statements, contracts, or current invoices and decides which evidence it accepts.
For payments made in 2026, the general Form 1099-NEC reporting threshold is $2,000. Special rules can still require reporting below that amount, including backup withholding, and taxable income may still need to be reported even when no form is required.
The payer is responsible for issuing and filing the official 1099-NEC. You can rebuild a recipient-side record copy from real payment records, but it must not be used to invent payments, misrepresent income, or impersonate an IRS filing.
For creating accurate records of real income and payments only. StubProof does not file Copy A, transmit information returns through IRIS, or decide worker status. Falsifying financial documents may be fraud.
