We automatically file form types 1099-DIV, 1099-INT, 1099-MISC and 1099-R in the IRS’ Combined Federal/State Filing Program, which makes the form data available to the states that participate in the program.

The new 1099-NEC forms are NOT automatically e-filed with states.

We do NOT e-file or mail copies to City or Local governments.

To comply with non-participating states, or city and local requirements, you may need to print a copy of forms and mail them to these agencies.

Not all states participate in this program, including tax-free states such as Nevada, Florida, Washington and Wyoming. If you have questions regarding state filings, we suggest that you talk with your accountant or attorney for clarification.

Note:  By participating in the Combined Federal State Filing Program, we do not file directly to the states and although the IRS makes the state information available for those states that participate, it is your sole responsibility to make sure the states receive the appropriate information.

Details on State E-Filing
