Submitting a Single 1096 Form: Electronic vs. Paper Filing
August 6, 2025
Q. I would like some assistance in submitting a 1096 form. If I have 1 additional non-employee income that I need to report to the IRS do I need to submit the form or can this be done electronically?
A.
(Answered by IOFM's third-party tax expert)
If this is an original form, you could e-file it even if you paper-filed the others. If submitting on paper, you would prepare a Form 1096 just reporting whatever you are sending at that time.
