I made $1,800 freelancing and didn’t get a 1099. Do I still report it?
Yes. The $2,000 Form 1099-NEC threshold for 2026 generally determines whether the payer must issue the form. It does not determine whether your income is taxable.
If the $1,800 is taxable business income, you generally report it even if no Form 1099 arrives. Keep your own payment records rather than relying on tax forms to determine total income.
