In 2020, the IRS reintroduced Form 1099-NEC to report non-employee compensation on a separate form. Box 7 of the 1099-MISC was replaced and is now used to report direct sales of $5,000 and more. For the 2022 tax year, the FATCA Filing Requirement checkbox can now be found on Box 13. Boxes 13-17 from the 2021 version of the form have been renumbered as 14-18 to accommodate this change.
What are the changes?
The IRS has made a few updates to Form 1099-MISC, which will be effective for the 2022 tax year. Box 13 is now a checkbox used to report the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) filing requirement. As a result of this update, the original boxes 13-17 have been renumbered.
- Box 13 is used to indicate the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) filing requirement.
- Box 14 is used to report the excess gold parachute payments.
- Box 15 is used to report the payment under NQDC plans.
- Box 16 is used to report the state-withheld taxes.
- Box 17 is used to report the payer's state number.

e-Filing Benefits
The IRS prefers e-filing to paper filing because it is a simpler method and tracking electronic copies of forms is more efficient than tracking paper copies.
