Release Notes

The 1099 Pro Service Bureau will not include the 1099-NEC as part of the Combined Federal State Filing Program (CF/SF). To complete 1099-NEC state filing via the Service Bureau, you must purchase the additional 1099-NEC state filing service (details here).

Many states that implemented their own 1099-NEC filing mandates are still requiring state direct filing instead of allowing filers to use the IRS CF/SF Program. This is because most states have already built their reporting portals and direct reporting provides the data to states earlier in the year which is a critical tool in combating tax fraud.


New and improved:

  • For the 1099-NEC, 1099-MISC, and 1099-R, the Pennsylvania (PA) CSV file now has a limit of 25,000 line items or a 20MB file size. (CS-3480)
  • For State Filing, we added a Michigan (MI) 1099-NEC CFS Exception Threshold.
  • Reset/Void of Service Bureau, Print, and eFile sessions are now included in the Audit Trail. (CS-3227)
  • For 1042-S Printing, we added a ACL/PS Custom Layout for combined copies.
  • We made the following updates to the Service Bureau:
    • On the Upload Confirmation Sheet, action verbiage has been updated to Printed, Mailed with Online Access. (CS-3484)
    • Iowa (IA) 1099s and W-2 State Filing is no longer supported in the Service Bureau. Filers must now file directly through Iowa's new portal. (CS-3487)
    • West Virginia (WV) State Filing is no longer supported in the Service Bureau.
    • For Alabama (AL), we updated the state's special processing to include the Copy 1 pdf file. (CS-3198)


Bug fixes:

  • Previously, updating a Filer's Email created a duplicate entry that caused an error. We fixed this issue. (CS-3492)
  • We fixed the following Printing issues:
    • For the 1099-NEC, State Subset Filing was printing Copy C for Payer instead of Copy 1 for State. (CS-3485)
    • For the 1099-NEC, the Pressure Seal NEC5113 had print alignment issues. 
    • For the 1099-MISC, the Pressure Seal MW353 had print alignment issues. 
    • The 1099-B Amount/Totals Report had pagination issues.
    • For the 1099-R, we updated the IRA age to 72 per IRS instructions. (CS-3493)
    • The 1099-R Instructions for Recipient Codes 8 and R text was showing the previous year.
    • On the W-2G Correction Pressure Seal layout, the Optional message had print alignment issues. (CS-3489)
  • We fixed the following Electronic Filing issues:
    • On the 1099-MISC, the A Record was missing Code F for prior year filing. (CS-3497)
    • For Puerto Rico (PR), processing with the Grouped by EIN filter with high volume of filers was causing no records to be processed. (CS-3499)
  • We fixed the following State Filing issues:
    • On the Illinois (IL) 1099-NEC, we removed the K Record from the electronic file since the state does not participate in the CFS program. (CS-3509)
    • On the 1099-NEC, creating state subset forms was processing a Copy C instead of a Copy 1. (CS-3485)
