How late can I e-file 1099s so recipients receive them on time?

Welcome to the QuickBooks Comunity, kmilsap67.

 

Let me provide details of the 1099 filing time in QuickBooks Online to ensure that you can manage the tax form efficiently.

 

1099s are due to the IRS and your contractors by January 31. However, we recommend you e-file before January 28 at 5:00 PM PT. This is to make sure the tax form can be postmarked to your contractors by January 31. You can e-file 1099s through January 31 to be on time with the IRS. 

 

Additionally, the tax filing due dates are different for each of the 1099 forms. With this, the NEC due date is January 31 and the MISC due date is March 31 if you file electronically. 

 

Then, the E-file is open until April 30. While you can still e-file the form, this will still be considered late by the IRS. If this happens, I recommend contacting them so they may assess the fees. 

 

For reference about filing the 1099 forms, you can check this article: Create and file 1099s using QuickBooks Online.

 

In case you need guidelines on how you can make adjustments to your filed 1099 due to incorrect information, you can read this article: Correct or change 1099s in QuickBooks.
