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

Yes! We automatically file Form 1099-MISC, 1099-DIV, 1099-INT, 1099-B and 1099-R under the Combined Federal/State Filing Program, which most states participate in. 

The new 1099-NEC forms are NOT included in the Combined Efiling program.

This program can save you the extra step of filing separately in participating states! However, not all states participate in this program, and not all states are supported. 

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.

Please read our Knowledgebase article about State E-filing.

Filing a correction form:
If you discover any error after you have paid for the forms you must file a separate correction form.

Corrected forms must be submitted to the IRS and a corrected recipient copy must be provided to the recipient as soon as possible.

What is most important is that the IRS receives accurate information, so we encourage all customers to correct data in their forms as their own recipients report errors, prior to checking them out and submitting payment.

Your data is encrypted using the strongest encryption program available, recommended by the federal government.

We use the information you provide only for the purpose of processing your forms.
