1099 Deadline For The 2027 Filing Season

1099 Filing Extensions and IRS Relief Provisions

• If more time is needed to file a return, use Form 8809. This form provides an automatic 30-day extension for most Form 1099 types, provided that you file it by the original deadline.
• Form 1099-NEC has its own extension filing procedure. If a manual 30-day extension is required, then a paper Form 8809 must be submitted with the necessary justification. Approval is not guaranteed.
• An extension to file does not affect the date by which your recipients must receive their statements. If you require more time to send out the statements, you should use Form 15397.
• The IRS may delay the deadlines for filing or furnishing recipient copies for taxpayers in federally declared disasters.
• If a filing or recipient copy deadline falls on a weekend or federal holiday, it moves to the next business day.

OBBBA Reporting Threshold for Tax Year 2026

Public Law 119-21, also known as OBBBA, has increased the federal reporting threshold from $600 to $2,000 for payments covered by IRC sections 6041 and 6041A, effective after December 31, 2025.

The new OBBBA 1099 threshold will apply to qualifying 1099-NEC payments and to certain 1099-MISC categories such as rent, prizes and awards, other income, medical and health care payments, and crop insurance proceeds.

It doesn't apply to every 1099 form. There are separate reporting rules that apply to royalties, substitute payments in place of dividends or tax-exempt interest, gross proceeds paid to attorneys, cash payments for fish purchased for resale, direct sales, and any other payment type covered by its own separate reporting rule.
