File IRS Form 1099-DIV online

Form 1099-DIV reports dividends and distributions to the IRS. It is issued by financial institutions, such as banks and brokerage firms, to individuals who receive dividends and distributions.

Financial institutions in the United States must file a 1099-DIV with the IRS for each account holder who receives dividends and distributions during the tax year. A financial institution needs to file Form 1099-DIV when they distribute:

• Ordinary dividends
• Qualified dividends
• Capital gain distributions
• Nondividend distributions
• Liquidation distributions

Yes. You can e-file Form 1099-DIV through the IRS website or by mail. You may also use Avalara 1099 & W-9 to streamline the e-filing process and help prevent costly errors.

• Send copies to recipients by January 31.
• E-file with the IRS by March 31.

When these dates fall on a weekend or holiday, the deadline shifts to the next business day.

It depends. Some states require you to file Form 1099-DIV directly, especially if state income tax was withheld or if you’re not using the IRS Combined Federal/State Filing Program (CF/SF). Requirements, deadlines, and formats vary by state.
