2.2: Selecting Forms and Files

A new window will appear where you will be able to select the forms you want to eFile and the type of file that you will be submitting.

Selecting forms and files

  • All forms for all recipients will be selected by default. Carefully go through the list of recipients and forms and make sure that the only ones selected are the forms you want to eFile.
  • File type - select the file type based on the scenario it addresses
    • Original submission - an original submission refers to the first official eFile of one or more 1099 forms for a specific tax year.
    • Is Corrected file for submission? - one or more 1099 forms that were previously submitted to the IRS, in which errors or omissions are being fixed. It updates the original submission to ensure accurate reporting for a recipient or the filer.
    • Is Replacement file for "Rejected" Submission? - an eFiling sent to the IRS when an original submission was rejected due to errors in formatting, missing information, or failed validation. The replacement file corrects the issues that caused the rejection and is treated as the new original submission once accepted.
    • Original Receipt ID - is a unique identifier assigned by the Internal Revenue Service for an eFile submission.

When you select either Is Corrected file for submission? or Is Replacement file for "Rejected" Submission? you will need to populate the Original Receipt ID field. The receipt ID is provided upon original submission.
