IRS regulations provide that any person, including a corporation, partnership, individual, estate, and trust, who is required to file 250 or more information returns must file such returns electronically. The 250 or more requirement applies separately for each type of return and separately to each type of corrected return. Even though filers may submit up to 249 information returns on paper, IRS encourages filers to transmit those information returns electronically.

For tax year 2008 (forms filed in calendar year 2009), the due date to E-File 1099 forms is March 31, 2009. This includes, but not limited to, 1099-MISC forms, 1099-INT, 1099-DIV and 1099-R forms. Persons or businesses required to file information returns electronically may be subject to penalties for failure to file or include correct information if they do not follow the IRS E-Filing instructions. A complete list of 1099 Deadlines is available on our website (www.realtaxtools.com) or by visiting the IRS website.
