FAQs+
Does this workflow create the IRS filing copy of Form 1099-NEC?
No. This workflow is for the recipient-facing Copy B page. IRS paper filing requires the official scannable Copy A or electronic filing.
Can I print Form 1099-NEC Copy A from the IRS PDF and file it?
No. The IRS Form 1099-NEC PDF says the online Copy A is informational and is not scannable for IRS paper filing. Use IRS e-file or official scannable forms for IRS filing.

Electronic recipient statements can have consent and disclosure requirements. Use this PostalForm workflow when you want to furnish the recipient copy by physical postal mail.
