As a small self employed business person, am I understanding that if it’s under $600, I can pay a handyman $600 without giving him a 1099? What are the ramifications for him if I do not give him a 1099?

If this is someone who has their own business and you only use them once and you get a reciept from them then a 1099 is not really needed.

He still has to report all his income even if he doesn't get a 1099NEC from anyone. It would be self employment income to him and fill out schedule C for it. He will pay self employment tax on a profit of $400 or more.
