State 1099 Filing Requirements for Total Tax Reporting Compliance

Understand Your 1099 State Reporting Requirements

1. Your state participates in the Combined Federal/State Filing (CF/SF) program.

Many states participate in this program, which is a major convenience for employers. Under this program, the IRS shares 1099-NEC, 1099-MISC, 1099-B, 1099-DIV, 1099-INT and 1099-R data with the participating states.

These are the states that participate in the CF/SF program: AL, AR, AZ, CA, CO, CT, D.C.*, DE, GA, HI, ID, IN, KS, LA, ME, MD, MA, MI*, MN, MS, MO, MT, NE, NJ, NM, NC, ND, OH, OK, PA, SC, WI.

*PA and D.C. although listed in 2022 Publication 1220 as participating states but according to the IRS, forms for these states will not be accepted until next year.

NOTE: Participation does not mean that the state may not still require you to file the forms with their agency. Many states require forms that report state withholding to be filed direct to the state.

2. Your state doesn't participate in the CF/SF program at all or participates but still has a requirement for direct filing for the form you need to file.

If a state doesn't participate in the CF/SF program at all or still has a requirement for direct filing for the form you need to file then it’s your responsibility to verify the filing requirements to file the 1099's direct to that state.

These states do not participate in the CF/SF program: IA, IL, KY, OR, PA*, RI, UT, VA, WV, VT, DC*. All mandated forms will need to be filed direct to the state.

*PA and D.C. although listed in 2022 Publication 1220 as participating states but according to the IRS, forms for these states will not be accepted until next year.

These states although they participate in the CF/SF program but have certain specific to state requirements that filing via the CF/SF does not satisfy: AL, AZ, CT, DE, GA, IN, KS, LA, MA, MI, MN, MS, MT, NC, ND, OH, SC, WI. It is your responsibility to verify the filing requirements with the state as the requirements vary by state.

If you're an employer filing in one of these states, you’re required to file forms 1099-NEC, 1099-MISC, 1099-B, 1099-DIV, 1099-INT or 1099-R to the IRS only.

These states are: AK, FL, NV, NH, NY, SD, TN, TX, WA, WY.

Protect Your Business from Hefty Filing Penalties

It pays to mind the tax-filing deadlines, too. Late filing of mandatory 1099s could lead to penalties ranging from $50 to $290 per 1099, with a maximum of $1,177,500 a year for your small business*. The amount of the penalty is based on when you file the correct information return, as follows:

• $50 per 1099, if you file within 30 days of due date; maximum penalty of $206,000
• $110 per 1099, if you file more than 30 days after the due date but by August 1; maximum penalty of $588,500
• $290 per 1099, if you file after August 1; maximum penalty of $1,177,500

Penalties for not filing correct information returns apply if you:

• Don’t file a correct information return by the due date and a reasonable cause isn’t given
• File on paper if you’re required to file electronically
• Don’t report a Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN)
• Report an incorrect TIN
• Don’t file paper forms that are machine-readable

Penalties for not furnishing correct payee statements apply if you:

• Don’t provide a correct payee copy by the due date and a reasonable cause isn’t given
• Don’t show all required information on the statement
• Provide incorrect information on the statement

Keep in mind that the penalty to file a correct information return is separate from the penalty for not furnishing the correct payee statement. Because of this, you could incur two separate penalties.

*In all cases, the IRS considers you to be a small business if you’ve earned an average of $5 million or less in annual revenue for the past three tax years.
