I know the 1096 has to be. YES. There are many who say/claim/have proof the IRS accepts self printed copy A, the "specifications" do not permit it, and thus, the IRS can elect to charge a fairly hefty fine per form (not page, but for each item reported). This is different than the SSA, which embraced self printed Copy A forms starting with TY 2021. If the PR is correct, and the IRS does come up with an easier/free efile for 1099's, I suspect I (in my software) will not even try to fill in the red dropout ink 1099 forms any longer, even though it appears the IRS has settled on non year specific forms... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
