A note on 1099 state filing
State filing is more complicated than it has ever been. The move to IRIS changed federal filing only. Every state still sets its own rules, formats, thresholds and deadlines, and many still use their own portals or the old FIRE file layout.
What we do
- Include qualifying forms in the IRS Combined Federal/State Filing (CF/SF) Program with your federal filing
- The IRS then forwards that data to participating states
What's on you
- Any direct filing a state requires, including states outside CF/SF
- State withholding reconciliations and state registrations
- Confirming each state's rules with the state or your tax advisor
We don't file directly with any state, and we can't guarantee that CF/SF meets a given state's requirements. Some participating states still require their own filing, depending on the form, where the payer and recipients are, and whether state tax was withheld.
No. We file under our own TCC through our IRIS A2A connection. You don't need to apply for a TCC, enroll in IRIS or set up any IRS account.
Yes. We file originals, corrections and late or prior-year returns. Prior years are filed under the rules that applied to that year. See 1099 corrections or ACA corrections.
Only through the Combined Federal/State Filing Program. When your forms qualify, we include them in CF/SF with your federal filing, and the IRS forwards the data to participating states. We don't file directly with any state, and we can't guarantee CF/SF covers every state's rules. Check with each state or your tax advisor for anything beyond that. More on state filing.
Yes. We create the recipient copies as PDFs for you to review first, so you can confirm names, addresses and amounts. Once you approve, we print and mail them, any volume, so you never deal with envelopes or postage.
We used to sell software for the IRS FIRE system, where you could upload a file on the IRS website yourself. FIRE shuts down after December 31, 2026, and its replacement, IRIS, has no upload screen. Bulk files have to go through a secure A2A connection that can't be packaged as downloadable software. So now you upload your Excel file to our secure portal, and we handle the PDFs, XML and IRS transmission for you.
Yes, as a separate service, and the earlier the better. TIN matching does the most good when you collect a W-9 or set up a new payee, while a name and TIN mismatch is still easy to fix. Waiting until filing time leaves little room to correct anything. Buy credits and send us your list any time of year. See TIN matching.
Call us at (480) 706-6474, email info@1099fire.com or send us a message. We'll set up your secure portal account and walk you through your first filing.
