As the owner of an antique mall, I provide 1099-MISC to my vendors who are not employees. They pay rent but no commission, and I collect and submit sales tax and pay vendors monthly for their sales. I was told by the IRS that I need to report all sales on my tax return, even though it's not my income, and then deduct what I pay out to my vendors. I'm confused about whether to use 1099-MISC or 1099-NEC since I'm not paying them for work or services but for their own sales. Which form should I use, and do I need to switch to the NEC or can I continue with the MISC as long as it is getting reported?
