Order 1099 Forms and Filing Software Now

The free and easy way for small businesses to order 1099 forms is to do so directly online with the IRS. Obviously, you need to do this before you need to fill them out. The process typically takes up to 10 business days, so plan ahead. You need to know how many copies for which kind of 1099 form you need, so you should do a bit of preparation before sitting down to place the order.

That said, there is no reason you should wait to order 1099 forms. While many 1099 forms do not become available until late in the calendar year, the IRS lets you pre-order. Check out this IRS page as an easy way to order 1099 forms.

Understandably, there are some limits to how many 1099 forms you can receive through a direct order from the IRS. The organization usually limits the form copies it’s willing to mail to less than 1,000. Plus, large orders may require a phone call for verification. But this situation doesn’t often come up, if only because companies tend to convert to e-filing services long before their firm requires 1,000 copies or more of their 1099 forms. If you need more than 1,000 copies of a 1099, Advanced Micro Solutions can provide the tools you need to pivot to e-filing.

What to do When You Forget to Order 1099 Forms

If something goes wrong and the paper-copy filing deadline (end of February) has already passed, you’ll need to forget ordering the paper forms altogether. Instead, use e-file software to meet the later e-filing deadline that comes at the end of March. Indeed, for a lot of businesses, this is the plan from the start.

That said, if it’s mid-February and you’re looking for a last-minute paper filing solution, most office supply stores sell 1099 copies. As a matter of fact, these office supply stores do a disproportionate amount of their sales during these few weeks in which small businesses find themselves in precisely this situation. You can also visit your local IRS office and obtain a good number of free 1099 forms.
