    If the IC is incorporated or you pay less than $600, you don't have to file one anyway. Otherwise, if the IC reports that you didn't give them a 1099 and you paid more than $600, you can get fined. You may also have trouble deducting the money from your taxes because you will have no backup for the cost.
