Forms / 1099-NEC
Fill out the 1099-NEC
The form a business uses to report what it paid a contractor who is not an employee.
How it works
- Download the current form from the IRS: IRS page for Form 1099-NEC. We do not host agency forms, so you always start from the official one.
- Open EkaSetu PDF and choose the file, or drop it on the window. Click a blank to type in it, or use Detect fields if the PDF has none.
- Add your signature as a picture of your signature, if the form needs one.
- Download your filled copy.
Who fills it in
The payer (the business) completes it. The contractor receives a copy.
What goes on the form
- The payer's name, address and taxpayer number, and the recipient's name, address and taxpayer number (often taken from their W-9).
- Box 1: the nonemployee compensation paid.
- Any state boxes that apply.
- Give the recipient their copy, and file with the IRS as the instructions say.
What stays on your computer
Your PDF is read in your browser's memory. Its name, text and pages are not sent to EkaSetu. Downloads are made on your computer, and the file on your disk is not changed until you save or download. If you choose Save to EkaSetu, or sign with a record on a paid plan, that file is uploaded; the app says so before it happens.
Questions
Is my file uploaded?
No, not unless you choose. The file is opened in your browser and stays on your computer unless you choose Save to EkaSetu or sign with a record.
Do I need an account?
No. Reading, filling and signing with your own signature are free and need no account.
Does this tell me how to answer the questions?
No. EkaSetu PDF helps you fill in the blanks. What to write is for the form's instructions and, where needed, the person who asked you for it.
Can I print the IRS copy for filing?
The IRS has special rules for the copy it receives on paper. Read the official instructions on the IRS page before you file. EkaSetu PDF is useful for the recipient's copy and your own copies.
