State Filing Requirements

Pennsylvania State Requires the following Forms

Form 1099-MISC

Miscellaneous Information

Send PA a copy of any federal 1099-MISC form reporting PA-source income (like rent, royalties, or lease payments), regardless of where the recipient lives or whether PA tax was withheld. Separately, if you're paying a nonresident more than $5,000 a year in these payments, you must withhold PA tax at 3.07%. If it's below $5,000, withholding is optional.

Form 1099-NEC

Nonemployee compensation

Send PA a copy when a federal 1099-NEC reports compensation for PA-based work or other PA-source income. This is whether or not you withheld PA tax. If you're paying a nonresident more than $5,000 a year, you must withhold PA tax at 3.07%. Separately the federal 1099-NEC filing threshold for 2026 is $2,000, except when backup withholding applies, in which case you file regardless of amount.

Form 1099-R

Retirement Distributions

PA requires a separate submission by Feb 1, 2027. If you withheld PA tax, report it under the Retirement Withholding account. Keep in mind PA may tax a distribution differently than the IRS does and it depends on what kind of retirement plan it is and the distribution code on the form. Upload the 1099-R records first and then complete the REV-1667 reconciliation.

Form W-2G

Certain Gambling Winnings

File a copy of W-2G with PA whenever it reports taxable gambling or lottery winnings from a PA source.

Form W-2

Wage and Tax Statement

File the W-2 wage records with PA and also complete a separate annual reconciliation for Employer Withholding.

Key Deadlines for Pennsylvania State Filing Taxes

W-2, 1099-MISC, 1099-NEC, 1099-R, and applicable REV-1667 reconciliation February 1, 2027 (because January 31is a Sunday)
W-2G paper filing March 1, 2027
W-2G eFiling March 31, 2027

Note:

Even though Pennsylvania takes part in the IRS CFSF Program, you still have to file W-2 wage records, Forms 1099-MISC, 1099-NEC, 1099-R, and the applicable REV-1667 reconciliation separately with the state because the PA Department of Revenue (DOR) requires it.

For 2026TY, most of the recipient statements have February 1, 2027 as the deadline. However, statements from these forms have February 16, 2027, as the due date: 1099-B, 1099-S, 1099-DA, and 1099-MISC reporting boxes 8 or 10.

You must eFile via myPATH if you’re submitting 10 or more W-2/1099 income statements. But if you have 9 or fewer, you are generally allowed to file through myPATH or even mail acceptable paper records.

If you're a payor who has PA nonresident-withholding obligations, you don't have a choice of filing method. Both the REV-1667 (the annual reconciliation form) and the related 1099-MISC/NEC forms must be eFiled via myPATH.

The IRS is retiring the old FIRE system for eFiling 2026TY returns (filed in 2027). Going forward, you must use IRIS for electronically filing your information returns.

Pennsylvania State Filing Scenario for the following Forms:

Form CF/SF participation or filing method Pricing
1099-MISC PA is part of CF/SF. But that doesn’t override separate Pennsylvania filing requirement. Direct: $0.99 per form
1099-NEC PA is part of CF/SF. But that doesn’t override separate Pennsylvania filing requirement. Direct: $0.99 per form
1099-R PA is part of CF/SF. But that doesn’t override separate Pennsylvania filing requirement. Direct: $0.99 per form
W-2G This form isn’t transmitted through CF/SF for Pennsylvania compliance. Direct: $0.99 per form
W-2 Form W-2 isn't part of CF/SF; federal W-2 filing is submitted to the SSA instead. Direct: $0.99 per form
1099-K, 1099-B, 1099-G, and 1099-INT These may qualify for federal CF/SF, but they're not part of PA’s standard annual direct-filing requirement, which only covers W-2, 1099-MISC, 1099-NEC, and 1099-R. NA
REV-1667 This is NOT a CF/SF form $4.99 per form

Pennsylvania takes part in the IRS CFSF Program and the current IRS guidance confirms that. But Pennsylvania's DOR still wants covered W-2s and 1099s to be filed separately with the state.

You must file 1099-MISC and 1099-NEC forms directly whenever they report PA-source income, even for PA residents and even when no state tax was withheld. Also note that direct filing needs to show PA-source amount specifically, not an undivided multistate total.

Use separate PA account types where applicable: Employer Withholding for W-2, Other Income Withholding for 1099-MISC/NEC, and Retirement Withholding for 1099-R. Make sure that you upload related income statements before working on the REV-1667 reconciliation.

State Filing Corrections Pricing

Correction type Filing method Pricing
1099-MISC, 1099-NEC, or 1099-R Electronic Pennsylvania correction via supported state workflow $0.99 per form
W-2/W-2C Electronic Pennsylvania wage-record correction via supported state workflow $0.99 per form

Note: myPATH has its own corrected-file format for Pennsylvania W-2, 1099-R, 1099-MISC and 1099-NEC records. Suppose PA-source amounts, recipient info, withholding or other state data changes, correct it directly through myPATH. Fixing the federal form alone doesn't fix PA copy. You need to submit the PA correction separately.

OBBBA update

OBBBA Changes & Its Impact on Pennsylvania Filing

OBBBA raised several federal reporting thresholds starting with 2026 payments (reported in 2027), most notably from $600 to $2,000 for nonemployee compensation (1099-NEC) and certain 1099-MISC categories, with inflation adjustments starting after 2026. But these federal changes don't affect Pennsylvania's own filing rules. PA still requires direct filing based on where the income came from, not the federal threshold amount, so a payment can fall under the new $2,000 federal threshold and still need to be filed with PA.

A few other federal updates worth noting, none of which change PA requirements:

The $2,000 threshold doesn't apply to everything. Royalties stay at $10, gross proceeds to an attorney, cash fish payments, fishing-boat proceeds, direct sales, and backup withholding still follow their own separate federal rules.

Form W-2G's federal threshold for 2026 is generally $2,000, with extra conditions depending on the type of gambling and, for some wagers, a 300-times-the-wager test.

Form 1099-K's federal threshold for third-party settlement organizations is back to $20,000 and 200+ transactions. Payment cards still follow their own rule (reportable at any amount). This federal threshold doesn't create a routine PA direct-filing requirement for 1099-K.

2026 federal 1099-MISC and 1099-NEC forms also add fields for cash tips, Treasury Tipped Occupation Codes, and qualified overtime pay. These are just new federal form fields, they don't create new PA thresholds or filing requirements.

Now, coming to Pennsylvania in particular. If a federal 1099-MISC or 1099-NEC form reports PA-source income, file directly with PA, regardless of the recipient's residency or whether PA tax was withheld. For nonwage PA-source payments to nonresidents, withhold PA tax at 3.07% once annual payments exceed $5,000 per payee. Below $5,000, withholding is optional, but the PA filing requirement can still apply.

Pennsylvania requires direct annual filing of W-2 wage records, Forms 1099-MISC, 1099-NEC, and 1099-R, along with the applicable REV-1667 reconciliation. Form W-2G is also required for PA-source gambling or lottery winnings, but it follows its own separate March deadlines. Forms 1099-K, 1099-B, 1099-INT, and 1099-G aren't part of PA's standard direct-filing list.

A copy needs to go to Pennsylvania whenever the federal form reports income sourced to PA. This requirement holds regardless of where the recipient lives or whether PA tax was withheld. Common examples include compensation for work performed in Pennsylvania, as well as PA-source lease, rent, royalty, or oil-and-gas payments.

Yes. For 1099-MISC and 1099-NEC reporting PA-source income, filing is required whenever the federal form is issued. PA also has a myPATH route for 1099-R records even when nothing was withheld.

Withhold PA personal income tax at 3.07% from qualifying nonwage PA-source payments to nonresidents when annual payments exceed $5,000 per payee. Withholding is optional below $5,000. The rule covers qualifying nonemployee compensation or business income and covered Pennsylvania real-estate lease payments, subject to the state's exclusions.

For 2026TY, Forms W-2, 1099-MISC, 1099-NEC, 1099-R, and the REV-1667 reconciliation are all due by Feb 1, 2027. PA-source Form W-2G copies have their own due dates: March 1, 2027 for paper filing and March 31, 2027, for eFiling.

If you're submitting 10 or more W-2/1099 income statements, you must eFile via myPATH. Filers with 9 or fewer can generally use myPATH or paper-file. Payors subject to Pennsylvania's nonresident-withholding requirements must file the annual REV-1667 and related Forms 1099-MISC/NEC electronically through myPATH.

No. PA is part of the IRS CFSF Program. But Pennsylvania DOR still requires covered W-2 wage records, Forms 1099-MISC, 1099-NEC, 1099-R, and the applicable REV-1667 reconciliation to be filed separately to the state.

Tax1099 handles the full workflow. This includes preparation, validation, eFiling, supported state corrections, and applicable REV-1667, all from one platform so that you don’t have to juggle multiple tools.
