Federal E-Filing Requirements for Form 1099-R

Any person, including a corporation, partnership, individual, estate, and trust, who is required to file 250 or more information returns must file such returns electronically. The 250 or more requirement applies separately for each type of return and separately to each type of corrected return. For example, if you must file 100 Forms 1099-B and 300 Forms 1099-INT, Forms 1099-B need not be filed electronically since they do not meet the threshold of 250. However, Forms 1099-INT must be filed electronically since they meet the threshold of 250.
