Every winner over $600 causes a 1099 to be generated for your extra earned income.

It’s been that way for 30 some years.

Not sure if this is relatable to the OP.


That's kind of the way I read it. It doesnt really change the rules, it simply encompasses a lot of these new jobs that the pandemic has created such as door dash and such.

I recieve multiple 1099's each year from vendors that offer rewards for selling certain items. Any time I earn $600 or more in a year, i get a 1099.
