Does the IRS Send 1099s to states?

There are a variety of different types of 1099s, including ones that report income from gig work, rentals, and investments. They are also used to report proceeds from real estate transactions, including mortgage interest and property sales. In general, you should receive 1099 for any non-wage income you earned during the year that exceeds $600. This may include wages, rents, dividends, interest, and royalties depending on your situation.

As part of the Combined Federal/State Filing program, the IRS sends Form 1099 information to the states participating. However, some states do not participate in this program and may have their requirements for filing. For example, the District of Columbia requires payors to report Form 1099-NEC when reporting state withholding or $600 or more of non-employee compensation. To report this information, payors must either file Form 1099-NEC by January 31, 2023, or remit a scanned copy via email.

Where do I Send 1099 to IRS?

Form 1099 is a tax form that reports different types of payments made to individuals and businesses that typically aren’t your employer. These payments can include rental income, earnings from freelance work or independent contractors (gig workers), a tax refund from your state or locality, and gambling winnings.

The payer of the payment fills out a 1099 and sends copies to you and the IRS, reporting payments made during the year. In some cases, a copy of the form must also be sent to your state taxing authority.

Note that some forms are required to be filed by January 31 each year, while others must be provided to you by February 15. The IRS recommends that you file all paper documents through e-filing to save time and money, but they accept mailer copies of these forms.

To e-file, connect your personal user profile to the Treasury-registered business tax account that issued the forms. Then, visit your state’s web services to upload your form information to the IRS using the W-2 and 1099 e-file system.
