The 1099-NEC (NEC stands for Non-Employee Compensation) is actually based on an old form that has been out of use since 1982. The IRS revived the form to address some time-management and administrative issues that arose under the Protecting Americans from the Tax Hikes Act of 2015 (the PATH Act).

For most information returns, the deadline for filing Form 1096 is February 28 of the year following the tax year (so, for example, if you're filing information returns for tax year 2022, you'd need to submit your forms by February 28, 2023).

Most refunds issued in less than 21 days; EITC refunds for many available starting February 28. The IRS anticipates most taxpayers will receive their refund within 21 days of when they file electronically, if they choose direct deposit and there are no issues with their tax return.
