Under Public Law 119-21 (OBBBA § 70432 & § 70433), the 2026 federal Form 1099-NEC and 1099-MISC reporting threshold jumped from $600 to $2,000, and federal Form 1099-K reverted to $20,000 and 200 transactions. However, over 20 states still enforce a standalone $600 state filing or withholding threshold, and missing Form W-9 TINs trigger mandatory 24% IRC § 3406 backup withholding on dollar one.
