Not sure yet — but we can narrow it down.

If you don’t know the form type, check the top-left of the form for the exact label (1099-NEC, 1099-K, 1099-INT, etc.). If you received multiple 1099s, that’s normal.

Clues:

  • Different kinds of income use different 1099 forms.
  • You might receive more than one (ex: 1099-INT from a bank and 1099-NEC from freelance work).

Common examples:

  • 1099-NEC = paid for services
  • 1099-K = paid via apps/marketplaces
  • 1099-INT = interest
  • 1099-DIV = dividends
  • 1099-G = unemployment

Next steps:

Educational helper only. The actual tax treatment depends on what the income was for and the box amounts on the form. If you’re unsure, confirm the exact 1099 type printed on the document.
