With the release of Publication 1220 for tax year 2021, we were made aware that the IRS has added Form 1099 NEC to the Combined Federal State Filing (CF/SF) program. This program is intended to relieve the burden of filing 1099s directly with states since the IRS forwards 1099s filed federally to participating state agencies. For tax year 2020, 36 states and the District of Columbia still had their own direct reporting requirements for the 1099-NEC that were not satisfied by the combined federal/state filing. Additionally, a subset of states do not participate in CF/SF, including Iowa, District of Columbia, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island. It will be up to the state agencies whether or not to make a change to participate in CF/SF and not continue to require direct reporting. For tax year 2021, 26 states and the District of Columbia still have their own direct reporting requirements for the 1099-NEC not satisfied by CF/SF.
As the states continue to alter & publish direct reporting requirements, the Sovos regulatory analysis team will continuously update this page with the latest state requirements for Form 1099-NEC to help keep your organization ahead.

Alabama
Alabama To Require 1099-NEC Reporting for TY 2020
The Alabama Department of Revenue recently confirmed by telephone that payers will be required to file Form 1099-NEC with the state in accordance with existing information return filing requirements. Alabama has not updated their guidance to date and is unlikely to do so prior to the state’s due date for 1099 forms. However, Form 1099-NEC will be among the required reporting for the taxable year, subject to the same filing threshold: if state withholding is reported or if the payment reported on the form represents $1,500 or more in Alabama taxable income the 1099-NEC must be reported directly to the state. The 1099-NEC will be due along with all other 1099 forms reported to Alabama on January 31, 2021.
When filing 1099 forms electronically, including Form 1099-NEC, filers must include a state ID, known in Alabama as a State Employer Account Number or Alabama Withholding Tax Account Number.

Colorado
Colorado to Accept Form 1099-NEC for Tax Year 2020
Colorado’s Department of Revenue has announced it will accept Form 1099-NEC for tax year 2020. Colorado will accept electronic filing through its Revenue Online service beginning January 5, 2021. Form 1099s must be filed with the Department by February 1, 2021.
Colorado has yet to provide any revised specifications for 1099 form reporting for tax year 2020. Prior guidance, last revised in 2016, directs filers to use the federal 1220 standard for filing 1099s. Presuming Colorado does not provide contrary direction, the use of the federal 1220 standard means 1099s reported to Colorado will not need to provide a state tax identification number.
Colorado’s normal 1099 due date is January 31, but the states permits filing by the next business day when the thirty first falls on a weekend, as it will in 2021. Colorado has not yet stated under what circumstances a 1099-NEC would be require direct filing with the state, but based on other 1099s, it is very likely the state will require it when reporting Colorado withholding.
