Connecticut taxpayers must electronically file all Forms W-2, 1099-NEC, W-2G, 1099-R, or 1099-MISC regardless of how many forms are filed. Electronically transmit the forms using myconneCT, the Connecticut Department of Revenue Services’ (DRS) online portal to file tax returns, make payments, view filing history, and register a business.
The electronic reporting requirement can be waived if an employer can prove hardship. An employer must fill out Form CT-8508, Request for a Waiver from Filing Information Returns Electronically on paper. The form cannot be filed on myconneCT.
- File Form CT-8508 at least 30 days before the due date of the information returns
- If the due date falls on a weekend or legal holiday, the request will be regarded as timely if you file it by the next business day
- The due date for 1099 electronic filing is March 31
- The due date for 1099 paper filing is Feb. 28
The good news is that our 1099-etc E-File Direct module supports the filing requirements in Connecticut. E-File Direct allows you to file an unlimited number of W-2 or 1099-type forms directly with the appropriate state or federal agency.
