I have entered 1099-NEC information for about 50 subcontractors. I went to print but they are all 1-up and my copy B and C forms are all 3 up.

Can I simply print on plain paper and hand-deliver or mail them? No special form required??

The problem is I need to mail most of them and I don't have envelopes that fit the printout.

I plan to e-file to the IRS, but not sure how to get to my subs.

If you e-filed forms 1099-NEC, then it is not necessary to file or efile form 1096.

You do not need to print forms 1099-NEC and form 1096 to mail them to the IRS.

You only need to print out forms 1099-NEC to mail them to your contractors.

You can print the 1099-NEC forms for the contractors on plain paper. As long as all the required information and box numbers are displayed you will be fine. You need to either e-file the forms to the Social Security Administration or mail in the original red colored forms, however, for the transmittal of the government copies.

Yes that is a hassle. The forms have never fit in window envelopes.

In the Windows Home & Business program if you do them on your computer and don't use Quick Employer Forms, copy A for the Internal Revenue Service now prints 3 people per page on Copy A. So if you have 4 people it will print 1 on one page and 3 on another page.

Copies B, C, and 1:
…….(Copy B for the recipient);
…….(Copy C for your records); and on the same page
…….(Copy 1 for the state tax department, if required).

Include all pages of Copy A with Form 1096 (do not staple), sign Form 1096,

IMPORTANT: Do not cut or separate Forms 1096 or 1099-MISC Copy A, even if a form is blank.
