In 2027, the first 1099 filing deadline falls on a Monday. Since Jan. 31 falls on a weekend, your business will have until Feb. 1, 2027 to send 1099 forms to their recipients. Nevertheless, you should remain diligent in your accounting and tax preparation.
Use that extra day before the 1099 filing deadline and avoid starting the new month off by requesting extensions and prolonging the process.
From there, the filing deadline for most paper format filing is typically the last day of February. Here are some quick dates:
- Next year, the last day of the month, Feb. 28, falls on a Sunday
- Most paper format filing will be due Friday, Feb. 26.
If you are filing electronically, you have another month. The deadline is Wednesday, March 31. Get the full list and read the explanations of employer-based 1099 filing deadlines on the IRS’ website. Regardless of the 1099 filing deadline, businesses using Advanced Micro Solutions have even fewer worries on their plate.
