[00:00 - 04:22] Understanding 1099s and Their Importance

• Christina highlights the 1099 NEC (Non-Employee Compensation) form, used for reporting payments to freelancers or contractors over $600.

[04:22 - 11:22] Understanding 1099-k and Its Implications

• Christina discusses the process of filing 1099 forms and the complexities involved.
• Historically, the 1099-k had a high threshold for reporting ($20,000 and 200 transactions), but the IRS considered lowering this to include smaller transactions. 
• For the 2022 tax year, the IRS planned to lower the 1099-K threshold to $600, regardless of transaction count.
