1099 deadline calculator
Choose a tax year and see every IRS 1099-NEC and 1099-MISC deadline — recipient copies, paper filing, and e-file — with the days remaining until each. Weekend dates shift to the next business day automatically.
Forms for tax year 2025 are filed in early 2026.
| Form | Deadline | Due date | Days left |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1099-NEC | Copies to recipients (contractors) | Mon, February 2, 2026 | — |
| 1099-NEC | File with the IRS (paper or e-file) | Mon, February 2, 2026 | — |
| 1099-MISC | Copies to recipients | Mon, February 2, 2026 | — |
| 1099-MISC | File with the IRS — paper | Mon, March 2, 2026 | — |
| 1099-MISC | File with the IRS — e-file | Tue, March 31, 2026 | — |
Dates shift to the next business day when they fall on a weekend. Federal holidays are not modeled here — if a deadline lands on a holiday, the IRS moves it to the next business day, so verify against the current-year IRS instructions. 1099-MISC recipient copies are due Feb 15 instead of Jan 31 when you report amounts in box 8 or box 10.
Never chase a 1099 deadline again.
