1099 Reporting

August 26, 2026

New and improved

Identity verification
We added the option to submit an identity verification before eFileMyForms prompts it. Select the Verify My Identity option in the Account menu to start a voluntary verification. A voluntary verification does not place your account on hold or prevent completing checkout while it is in progress.The Verify My Identity option is highlighted.
Order history and order search
  • We improved order history and order search speed. Results now load faster on accounts with a large number of orders.

  • We improved order search to return matches on partial order numbers, so you no longer need a complete order number to find an order.

Recipients
We added an Edit recipient action to the Form Edit page. The action is available under these conditions:
  • You have edit permission, and the form is not a correction.

  • You have edit permission, and the form is a correction of Form 1095-B or Form 1095-C.

Filing error messages
We improved filing error messages. The error text now shows the values from the error.

Bug fixes

Forms
We fixed a problem that was requiring a Chapter 4 exemption code on Form 1042-S when only the Chapter 3 indicator was selected.
Import
We fixed a problem that failed imported forms during data validation when a field value exceeded the maximum length. Values shortened to fit are now recorded in the import log, and the form no longer needs to be opened and saved to clear the status.
Home page
We fixed a problem that was limiting the Home page search filter to the forms shown on the current page. The filter now searches all of your forms, and results start on the first page.
Payment
We fixed a problem that confirmed a credit card update even when the update failed. You now see an error message identifying any missing information.
