Question

I am a self-employed massage therapist who rented practice space from another massage therapist for a few months last year. How do I file a 1099 MISC for rent I paid?

Last year I mailed the 1099MISC both to the people whom I paid rent to and to the IRS, but this year I need to file my 1099MISC electronically if I can. Most of what I have been finding on 1099 MISC here is for people who received a 1099MISC for rent that was paid to them, not for people who need to report rent paid to the IRS.

If you paid rent over $600 directly to the other massage therapist, you should send him a form 1099-MISC reporting the rent paid in box 1.

You should also send that form 1099-MISC to the IRS together with a form 1096 by February 28, 2021 or March 31 if you file electronically.

There are penalties for late filing. Please see this IRS document.
