Frequently asked questions

Avalara 1099 & W-9 maintains a comprehensive list of frequently asked questions (FAQ) to help users navigate IRS 1099 and W-9 compliance with clarity and confidence.

After you pay for IRS e-filing, Avalara 1099 & W-9 will automatically identify any payers or recipients requiring additional state filing and prompt you to complete the process.

Start by carefully reviewing the email we sent, which contains the specific error messages from the state; this email is sent to the Team Leader and the team member who submitted the payment (if you’re part of a team). Even if you disagree with the errors, you should correct the recipient information as instructed, and we’ll automatically resubmit the filing. However, payer-related errors cannot be corrected electronically and must be filed by paper. To do this, go to Downloads, select the big green button, and print Copy B along with Form 1096, which are sufficient for mailing. You can find the appropriate mailing address on your state’s Department of Revenue website.

If you have a PA Payer ID, you must enter it — even if you are not withholding for a specific recipient. If you do not have a PA Payer ID, leave all state withholding fields blank. If your recipients had PA state withholding and we successfully e-filed those forms for you, complete your REV-1667 (Employer Annual Reconciliation) electronically. If you filed by paper, you’ll need to manually complete and mail the paper version of Form REV-1667.

If you do not have a WI Payer ID, leave all state withholding fields blank. We’ll automatically insert the default information required for electronic filing in Wisconsin.
