WRONG! If you e-file the 1099 forms, there is no need to produce a 1096.
Efilie of 1099 is exactly the same process as e-filing a tax return. However, it is not Jan. 27 yet.
I am curious why everyone is in a break-neck hurry to file 1099s. I wait until 1 week before the due date, and file them all. This allows time for those last minute changes, that invariably come through.
