File IRS Form 1099-OID online

Avalara 1099 & W-9 supports the e-filing and e-delivery of many IRS form types, including Form 1099-OID for original issue discounts.

What is Form 1099-OID and when is it required?

Form 1099-OID reports the original issue discount (OID) from certain financial instruments, such as bonds or other debt instruments issued at a discount from their face value.


Issuers of OID instruments in the United States must file a 1099-OID with the IRS for each holder they credit more than $10 in OID over the course of a tax year. However, certain exemptions may apply based on the type of issuer or the nature of the instrument.


A business must file a 1099-OID when it credits original issue discounts to:

 

  • Bondholders
  • Debt instrument holders
  • Investors in discount notes
  • Other financial instrument holders

Can I file Form 1099-OID online?

Yes. You can e-file Form 1099-OID 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.

What are the IRS deadlines for filing Form 1099-OID?

  • 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.

Do I need to file Form 1099-OID with state tax agencies?

It depends. Some states require you to file Form 1099-OID 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.

What are some common mistakes issuers make when filing a 1099-OID?

Confusing a 1099-OID with other 1099 forms, such as the 1099-INT (for interest income) or the 1099-DIV (for dividends), can result in incorrect reporting. Moreover, filing with an incorrect or missing TIN can lead to penalties and backup withholding.
