Frequently Asked Questions

Tax information reporting involves the reporting of both wage and non-wage payments made by businesses to individuals, including employees, contractors, and other recipients. Businesses are required to report these payments to the IRS and any states they have obligations in on an annual basis using applicable forms such as Form series 1099 (1099-K, 1099-MISC, 1099-NEC, etc,), W-2, 1042-S, and more. Learn more here.

An organization’s direct state reporting obligations can come from where the business is located, where the work was performed, and/or where the recipient resides.

It is important to note that state reporting requirements vary by state. Each state has the ability to create unique reporting obligations for each 1099 series forms including different thresholds, due dates, and reporting method.

As stated in TD 9972, for tax year 2023 returns and beyond, businesses are required to electronically file information returns following a threshold of 10+ returns, counted in the aggregate. This includes form series 1099s, W-2s, 1042-S, ACA forms and more.

The IRS annual reporting penalties for late or inaccurate filings can reach up to $310 per return with a maximum penalty of over $3.7M. If a business intentionally disregards their reporting obligations, they can be charged up to $630 per form. In addition, businesses also face the threat of IRS audits and additional penalties from state governments.
