When to mail 1099 forms
Mailing a 1099 recipient copy is useful when:
- The recipient requires or expects a paper statement.
- You want a physical record that the recipient copy was sent.
- You are sending a corrected recipient copy.
- Email furnishing is not available, not consented to, or not worth the compliance friction.
- You already exported recipient PDFs from tax software and need them mailed.
If you do not have a 1099 PDF yet
If you need to furnish Form 1099-NEC Copy B and have not generated the PDF yet, use our guided workflow. PostalForm will build the recipient copy from your answers before you continue to mailing.
If you already have a PDF from tax software
Export the recipient-copy PDF from your tax software, then upload it to PostalForm. Before checkout, review the PDF and confirm that the recipient address, tax year, payer information, recipient information, and copy type are correct.
Do not upload an IRS filing copy when your goal is recipient furnishing. If you are filing with the IRS, follow the current IRS filing instructions, e-file requirements, or official paper-filing process.
