You will receive a copy of your forms electronically through DocuSign. You will need to download this copy to a secure location, as you will not be receiving a paper copy. You have 30 days to download. Recipients will receive their 1099 through a print and mail service — there is no need for you to mail them. The DocuSign form will ask you to initial to verify you have reviewed the 1099s. Completed forms will be e-filed with the IRS on your behalf.

If you identify a correction, or need to process additional 1099s, please contact your CLA professional.
