Forms received after January 1 and 26 are mailed on a weekly basis. Forms received between January 27 and the due date (January 31, or the next business day by 3:00 PM EST) are guaranteed to be post marked by the due day. Starting February we resume to weekly mailing. Recipients should receive their copies within 5-7 business day after mailing.
TIN Check: :
If you have ordered TIN check service, we perform the TIN check before mailing recipient statements. If TIN check fails, we let you and hold the statements, till the TIN check is successful. To avoid, late penalty, around the deadline, we have to mail out all statements, even if TIN check was not successful. If we mail out statement with failed TIN check, you will have to file a correction to change the TIN. If the IRS TIN check service is not available, it may affect our ability to mail out paper statements. To avoid any late penalty, we reserve the right to mail paper statements before TIN check is complete.
E-Delivery:
If you have provided us recipient’s email, we try to e-deliver their statements electronically. We wait 3 days for the recipients to accept e-delivery. If the recipients do not accept e-delivery we mail out paper copies. As we approach the deadline, and if we cannot wait for recipient’s acceptance we mail out paper statements.
If recipients’ accept e-delivery they can access their forms right after making their choice.
You can print or download your copies soon after payment.
We do not e-file or mail state, city or local copies for you.
Please read below a related question about the Combined Federal/State Filing program (CF/SF).

Section 6011(e)(2)(A) requires filers who are required to file 250 or more information returns for any calendar year to file the returns electronically. The 250 or more requirement applies separately for each type of form and separately for original and corrected returns.
However, we encourage that you use our service to file your forms hassle-free irrespective of the number of forms. We always file all our forms electronically so that you do not have to file Copy A of the form with the IRS.
Yes. OnlineFileTaxes allows you to enter an unlimited number of filers, and an unlimited
number of associated recipients for each of those filers with your one account.
After you create your account and confirm your email address, you will log into
your account and start filling out your forms. If we already have your payers'
information, you can just select the payer name from the list. You will not need
to enter all of the payer information again. If, however, we do not have your payer
information in our records, then you will only need to enter it once. The same is
true for recipient information. We retain payer and recipient information in our
records so that you don't have to key in again.
With our service you can do both. You can upload information using our simple upload
process. We accept comma-delimited or Excel files. For more information, view our
"Data Import"
page.

You can change any information entered as long as you have not paid for our service. Once you make a payment you will not be able to make changes to the existing form.

Errors:
Please note that there are numerous types of errors, and in some cases, more than one transaction may be required to correct the initial error. Please contact us if you have a question regarding this.
Error Type 1:

We used to e-file all our forms before mailing out paper statements, but then we noticed our clients had to file corrections after their recipients receive the forms and notice an error. To avoid that, on popular demand, we are now not e-filing our forms till a later date. Please rest assured, your forms will be e-filed within the timeline. We are now waiting for at least 10 days before e-filing from the date you submitted your forms. Typically every year the IRS closes down their e-filing system and do not open till first or second week of January. Our first filing in the year does not start till the middle of January.
We also have the ability to hold your forms until a certain date (before e-file deadline). If you want us to hold you forms till a certain date, please let us know.
When you file with us, we print and mail the forms to your recipients and we electronically
file your forms with the IRS. You need to print the forms for your records or mail
to the appropriate state if applicable.

CAUTION: Do not send Copy A of the paper forms to IRS/IRB for any forms filed electronically.
This may result in duplicate filing and erroneous notices could be generated.

filing only.

A filer may be a payer, creditor, recipient of mortgage or student loan interest payments, educational institution, broker, barter exchange, person reporting real estate transactions; trustee or issuer of any educational savings account, individual retirement arrangement or medical savings account; lender who acquires an interest in secured property or who has reason to know that the property has been abandoned, or certain donees of motor vehicles, boats, and airplanes..
Form recipient means the person to whom you are required by law to furnish a copy of the official form or information statement. The form recipient may be referred to by different names on various Forms 1099 and related forms (“borrower,” “debtor,” “donor,” “employee,” “insured,” “participant,” “payer/borrower,” “policyholder,” “student,” “transferor,” or, in the case of Form W-2G, the “winner”).
Recipient statement means a paper statement of the information reported on an information return form. This statement must be furnished to a person (form recipient), on paper or electronically by the due date.
The IRS authorizes businesses to furnish an electronic copy to recipient of form 1099s, instead of a paper copy. If a business is required to furnish a written statement (Copy B) to a recipient, then it may furnish the statement electronically instead of on paper.
An electronic recipient statement is a statement provided to the recipient via email or delivered through a web interface, where the recipient can go to a web site and download the statement. This helps businesses avoid the need to mail a paper copy to the recipient.
IRS guidelines state that, a recipient should give his/her consent before an electronic statement is delivered, otherwise a paper copy must be provided.
