1099 requests

Laurie Millington on 1/30/2026 5:02:36 PM

I have several clients that said many of their vendor will not accept/approve to have the forms emailed to them. So, the clients are having to manually address the envelopes to send the forms. Is it possible to make the old forms work with the new 1099 fields?


Also, many clients would also need the 1099 Vendor Information report back, so they have a quick easy report to review all the 1099 vendors details so they can confirm the amounts, SNN/EIN, Addresses, 1099 codes are correct.


We also encountered issues with transmitting the information and had to create import files to upload to IRIS (last minute issues). So my last ask is to have a report that will generate that file if we can't get the transmissions to work.

Thank you for your feedback. We are not considering the suggestion at this time due to the following reasons:
1) The new functionality supports both methods of delivering 1099 forms to vendors: electronically via email and physically via print and mail. By law, 1099 forms may be sent by email only with explicit vendor consent, which is captured in Business Central. We do not plan to support printing on pre‑printed forms. For IRS submission, pre‑printed forms are only required when fewer than 10 forms are submitted per year, and sending substitute forms that include all required information is fully compliant with IRS regulations. This approach allows Microsoft to deliver changes significantly faster and avoids the complexity of supporting and calibrating printers for specific pre‑printed forms—especially since there is no legal requirement to do so.
2) The 1099 Vendor Information report will not be reintroduced. Instead, we have delivered the new IRS 1099 Vendor Overview page, which provides significantly improved reporting and analysis capabilities.
3) Both reporting options are supported: submission through integration or via a manually created file (currently the FIRE file). The manual submission option aligns with the IRS process for “Submit using magnetic media” here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/localfunctionality/unitedstates/how-to-1099-report.
