Question: how much money do i need to make to file a 1099?
Answer: A 1099 is an “information filing form”, used to report non-salary income to the IRS for federal tax purposes. There are 20 variants of 1099s, but the most popular is the 1099-MISC. If you paid an independent contractor more than $600 in a financial year, you'll need to complete a 1099-MISC.
