Bookkeeping aid, not tax advice. Whether your rental counts as a trade or business for 1099 purposes depends on your facts; check with your CPA.
The rules it uses (from IRS.gov)
- Payments made in 2026: the 1099-NEC reporting threshold is $2,000 (it was $600 for payments before 2026). IRS: Am I required to file a Form 1099?
- Payments to corporations are generally excluded, but attorney fees are reportable even to corporations; card and payment-app payments are reported on Form 1099-K instead. IRS Instructions for Forms 1099-MISC and 1099-NEC
- Furnish and file 1099-NEC by Jan 31; when that falls on a weekend the due date is the next business day, so Feb 1, 2027. Filing 10 or more information returns in total means you must e-file.
- No W-9 or TIN? Backup withholding is 24%. IRS Publication 1099
