Where to File

Government entities can now file Form 1099 series information returns using a new online portal. The portal, known as the Information Returns Intake System, is free, secure, accurate and doesn’t require any special software. It also:

  • allows filers to submit automatic extensions and make corrections,
  • acknowledges receipt of the return in as early as 48 hours,
  • keeps issuer information from year to year, and prior years filed through this platform, providing convenience to 1099 filers, and
  • eliminates trips to the post office and can reduce office expenses.

The IRS encourages businesses, including governments and organizations that now file on paper, to switch to e-filing through the platform and share in its benefits.

If you have a technical or procedural question relating to government entities, please visit IRS.gov/fslg.
