State 1099 Filing Requirements

Understand state-specific 1099 filing requirements to ensure compliance and avoid penalties.

At the end of each tax year, employers that make payments to independent contractors are required to file 1099-NECs. Form 1099-NEC is used to report non-employment income (contractor payments) that was paid to the contractor throughout the calendar year.

Below is a summary of requirements by state.

How to Use the Chart

  • State - The information provided for each state pertains to where the contractor performed services. Most times, it will be the company’s main address but companies with multiple workplaces may have contracted services in a state other than the main address.
  • Filing Required (Y/N) - Each state has specific requirements for filing 1099-NECs. If there is an * following the N, it means that filing is only required if taxes were withheld from the contractor payment. Check does not withhold taxes from contractor payments so this would not be applicable for companies that used Check to pay their contractors.
  • Filing Threshold - States that require 1099-NECs to be filed may also only require the form to be sent after the contractor receives a certain amount in payments from the company for the year. If the contractor was paid less than this amount a 1099-NEC does not need to be filed.
  • Due Date for Filing - This is when the 1099-NEC must be filed with the agency. There may be two different due dates depending on whether filing by paper vs online.
  • How to File - If the state allows for paper filings, the address has been provided. If there is a limit to the amount of 1099-NECs that can be sent by paper, it is noted as “less than XX”. If online filing is available, a link to the agency’s portal has been included where companies can either key-in the 1099-NEC or upload a file.
  • Agency Website - State website where companies can find more information on filing the 1099-NEC.
