IRS Updates: Form 1099 MISC Changes for 2022 - Explained

Updated on February 15, 2023 - 10:30 am by Admin, TaxBandits

Up until tax year 2019, Form 1099-MISC was used to report non-employee compensation in box-7. Beginning in the tax year 2020, IRS reintroduced Form 1099-NEC to report non-employee compensation on a separate form. Box 7 of the 1099-MISC was replaced and is now used to report direct sales of $5,000 and more.

For the 2022 tax year, the FATCA Filing Requirement checkbox can now be found on Box 13. Boxes 13-17 from the 2021 version of the form have been renumbered as 14-18 to accommodate this change.
