Deadline to mail 1099 forms

The deadline to mail 1099 forms to recipients is January 31st of each year, for the previous tax year. For example, for the 2022 tax year, the deadline to mail 1099 forms is January 31, 2023.

However, it's important to note that the IRS requires that 1099 forms be filed electronically with the IRS by January 31st, regardless of whether you're mailing paper copies to recipients. This is known as the "filing deadline."

Here are the key deadlines to keep in mind:

• January 31st: Deadline to mail 1099 forms to recipients and file electronically with the IRS.
• February 28th (March 31st if filing electronically): Deadline to file paper copies of 1099 forms with the IRS.
• March 31st: Deadline to file electronically with the IRS if you're filing a large number of 1099 forms (more than 250).

It's also important to note that the IRS may impose penalties for late filing or failure to file 1099 forms. Therefore, it's essential to plan ahead and ensure that you meet the deadlines to avoid any potential penalties.
