Combined Federal/State Filing Program – Comprehensive List

In addition to IRS filing requirements, many states have Form 1099 Requirements as well. The Combined Federal/State Filing (CF/SF) Program was created and implemented to make filing certain information returns easier and simpler for the filer.

What is the Combined Federal/State Filing Program?

The CF/SF program was established to simplify information returns filing for payers. Through CF/SF, the IRS electronically forwards certain information returns (original and corrected) to participating states.

Currently under the CF/SF program, the IRS shares data with the appropriate states for the following information returns

• Form 1099-B, Proceeds from Broker and Barter Exchange Transactions
• Form 1099-DIV, Dividends and Distributions
• Form 1099-G, Certain Government Payments
• Form 1099-INT, Interest Income
• Form 1099-K, Payment Card and Third Party Network Transactions
• Form 1099-MISC, Miscellaneous Information
• Form 1099-NEC, Nonemployee Compensation
• Form 1099-OID, Original Issue Discount
• Form 1099-PATR, Taxable Distributions Received From Cooperatives
• Form 1099-R, Distributions From Pensions, Annuities, Retirement or Profit-Sharing Plans, IRAs, Insurance Contracts, etc.
• Form 5498, IRA Contribution Information

If you are filing electronically in one or more states, you should consider utilizing the program.
