They are different. However, it is possible they could overlap contain some of the same income depending on your situation.  The 1099-K is sent to you by payment processors like eBay or Square.  The 1099-Misc is sent to you by someone who paid you for services.  If you are a contractor and did work as an installer for another company, that paid you through PayPal, PayPal would issue you a 1099-K and the other company would issue you a 1099-Misc.  However, this year, most places will issue a 1099-NEC instead of a 1099-Misc for that type of situation.
