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.

  • We enabled State Electronic Filing for all forms (Enterprise Only).
