Should I send a 1099 misc to the lawn care company?

@1stchoicegutters  No.

If you are going to send them anything, it would be a 1099-NEC, though there's a lot of ifs, ands, and buts involved in that question dependent on your business, their business type, the purpose of the service, and so forth.

Hi @1stchoicegutters, it's important to understand your 1099 filing requirements.

Form 1099-MISC generally reports non-employee compensation like rent, royalties, and other payments. To determine if you need to file and for helpful resources, check out the following:

• IRS Website: This is your best source for current forms, deadlines, and instructions.
• Iowa Department of Revenue: They can provide information on Iowa-specific 1099 requirements.
• We have a helpful guide on filling out 1099 forms: How to fill out a 1099 form: Step-by-step instructions and tips.

If you have any questions after reviewing these resources, feel free to ask, @1stchoicegutters! We're here to help.

You should send them a Form W-9 and ask them to complete it.  The information they provide on that form will allow you to determine if you need to send them a 1099.  Requesting a W-9 is standard practice so they should be familiar with it.
