The 1099 threshold tripled. Your payee list didn't get the memo.

For 2026 payments, you only owe a 1099-NEC at $2,000 — but royalties still trigger at $10, card-paid contractors must come OFF your NEC list, and 10+ returns means e-filing through IRIS, not FIRE. 1099Shift re-sorts every payee under the new rule and hands you a filing-ready classification — for a fixed price.

The done-for-you re-sort of your 2026 contractor payments under the NEW $2,000 Form 1099-NEC/MISC threshold — every payee classified under the new rule, card/app payments kept off the NEC list so nobody gets double-counted, and your e-file path moved to IRIS before the February 1, 2027 deadline. Records and readiness only — NOT tax advice, NOT a filing service.
