About this listen

In this episode, Jason breaks down one of the trickiest parts of compliance: state 1099 filing rules. Every state has its own requirements — and some of them will surprise you. (Looking at you, New York and Illinois!)

What You’ll Learn

  • Why the state boxes on a 1099 don’t fulfill your state filing obligations
  • How to determine which states you need to file in
  • Why contractor location (and where the work is performed) matters
  • How state backup withholding rules differ — especially California’s
  • Why some states only require 1099s if you did state-level backup withholding
  • How federal threshold changes (like the move to $2,000) may not match state rules
  • Tips for keeping up with changing state portals, thresholds, and requirements
  • A surprising trivia fact about two income-tax states with no 1099-NEC or 1099-MISC filing requirements
