What are the differences between a 1099-MISC and a 1099-NEC for the tax year 2022?

The main difference between a 1099-MISC and a 1099-NEC for the tax year 2022 is that the 1099-MISC is used to report various types of income, while the 1099-NEC is specifically for reporting nonemployee compensation. In 2022, the IRS reintroduced the 1099-NEC form to separate nonemployee compensation from other types of income previously reported on the 1099-MISC form.
