Tools
Know when you must file directly with Maine, the forms it currently accepts, eFiling rules, and important deadlines to stay compliant and avoid penalties.
Miscellaneous Information
Maine requires direct state filing of Form 1099-MISC with Maine Revenue Services when Maine tax is withheld or when federally reportable payments are made to Maine recipients. For 2026TY federal reporting, most 1099-MISC payments are reportable at $2,000. While certain categories like royalties, attorney gross proceeds, and cash fish purchases remain lower.
Nonemployee compensation
Direct Maine filing is needed when the federal eFiling requirement is met and the record includes a Maine resident or a Maine-source payment. For 2026TY federal reporting, the threshold is $2,000 for nonemployee compensation, and if there’s backup withholding, you must file no matter how small the amount is.
Payment Card and Third-Party Network Transactions
Whenever Maine filing applies, you must submit Form 1099-K directly through MTP. For 2026TY federal reporting, the threshold for TPSOs is gross payments exceeding $20,000 and more than 200 transactions. But payment card transactions need reporting at any amount.
Proceeds From Broker & Barter Exchange Transaction
You need to file directly with Maine when the Maine-resident and Maine-source payment applies. And for 2026TY, report federally reportable broker, securities, redemption, futures, commodities, and barter-exchange transactions.
Distributions From Pensions and Retirement Plans
If you meet the federal eFiling requirement, Maine requires you to file applicable records directly. For 2026TY you must report distributions of $10 or more from pensions, annuities, retirement or profit-sharing plans, IRAs, and insurance contracts.
Interest Income
You’ll need to file directly through MTP for applicable Maine records. For 2026TY, the general federal threshold is $10, but in some cases, it’s $2,000.
Certain Gambling Winnings
Maine requires all W-2G forms that are needed under federal rules to be eFiled with MRS. For 2026TY, the federal W-2G threshold is generally $2,000, but some types of gambling follow different thresholds and wager-ratio rules.
Wage and Tax Statement
If you’re an employer, you must file applicable W-2s directly with Maine for Maine residents or have Maine-source wages when you meet the federal eFiling requirement. Remember, MRS no longer accepts paper submissions, and you don’t need Form W-3ME filing.
Note: You must file directly with Maine through the Maine Tax Portal (MTP) whenever the federal eFiling rule (10 information returns in total) is met, and the record involves a Maine resident or Maine-source payment.
Note:
Maine recipient statements are due whenever the related federal statement is due. For 2026TY, most recipient statements are due by Feb 1, 2027. A few forms, like 1099-B and some 1099-MISC statements, normally follow a February 15 deadline. Since that date falls on a public holiday, the deadline moves to February 16, 2027.
Don’t send paper or magnetic-media copies of W-2, 1099 or W-2 G forms to MRS because everything must be eFiled through the MTP. Also file federal Form 1099-NEC with the IRS by February 1, 2027.
The IRS is retiring the old FIRE system for eFiling information returns. Starting with 2026TY (filed in 2027) IRIS will be the only intake system for federal information returns.
Complete and validate your federal forms first, then file your eligible Maine records through the direct-filing process. It’s that simple.
Maine wants you to skip the IRS CFSF Program for Maine information returns. When Maine filing applies, send your records directly to Maine Revenue Services through the Maine Tax Portal.
This direct-filing rule applies to any employer, payer, payroll processor, or other party who must file W-2s or 1099s electronically at the federal level and who made payments to a Maine resident or payments sourced to Maine. Remember, the federal threshold of 10 or more information returns is counted across all form types combined.
Maine filing is needed even if your returns show no Maine withholding. If you’re under the federal eFiling threshold you can still choose to file directly through the Maine Tax Portal. But remember MRS won’t accept paper or magnetic-media payee statements.
For payments made in 2026 (reported in 2027), the federal reporting threshold for Form 1099-NEC and certain 1099-MISC payments jumps to $2,000, up from the old $600. For Form 1099-K, the threshold for third-party settlement organizations is gross payments over $20,000 and more than 200 transactions. Form W-2G’s threshold is generally $2,000, but keep in mind that gambling-specific thresholds and wager-ratio rules may still apply.
Maine’s tax code currently reflects federal amendments made till December 31, 2025. Maine has updated its IRC conformity date to December 31, 2025, but Maine information-return filing still follows Maine’s separate filing guidance unless MRS adopts different instructions.
Right now, MRS guidance says you must file applicable Maine-resident and Maine-source records directly through the Maine Tax Portal if you meet the federal 10-return aggregate eFiling requirement, even if no Maine tax was withheld.
Forms 1099-B, 1099-DIV, 1099-G, 1099-INT, 1099-K, 1099-MISC, 1099-NEC, 1099-OID, 1099-PATR, 1099-R, and W-2G are the returns Maine accepts as of now.
An employer, payer, payroll processor, or other filer that must electronically file W-2s or 1099s federally must also file applicable records electronically with MRS when payments were made to a Maine resident or were sourced to Maine. The federal trigger is 10 or more information returns in aggregate. All W-2Gs required under federal rules must be eFiled with MRS
No. The current MRS filing rule is not limited to records showing Maine withholding. It applies based on the federal eFiling requirement plus Maine residency or Maine-source payments.
No. MRS instructs filers not to use the CFSF Program for Maine information returns. When Maine filing applies, submit the records directly through the MTP.
The statutory date is January 31. Because January 31, 2027 falls on Sunday, applicable 2026TY Forms 1099, W-2G, and W-2 are due by February 1, 2027.
No. Maine Revenue Services discontinued Form W-3ME for tax years after 2023.
A person required by the assessor to file an information return who fails to file it, or who willfully files a false or fraudulent return, is subject to a $50 penalty for each failure.
Maine doesn’t automatically conform because its statutory definition of the Internal Revenue Code currently incorporates amendments only through December 31, 2024.
