Release Notes

The 2020 1099-MISC has significantly changed for the 2020 tax year. Box 7 is no longer non-employee compensation. Non-employee compensation is now reported on a completely new form, the 1099-NEC Box 1. In addition, many of the 2020 1099-MISC boxes have been moved around. It is extremely important that you verify that your 2020 1099-MISC import maps are correct for the new layout. In many cases you may now have to import your data into both the 1099-MISC and the 1099-NEC. One map that loads the original 1099-MISC Box 7 into the the new 1099-NEC Box 1, and a second map that loads the rest of the boxes into the correct 2020 1099-MISC boxes.

This is especially important for transactional and year-to-date importers who many need to make this adjustment by January 1st, 2020 before their first 2020 imports.
