Electronic Filing

Oregon mandates that all 1099 forms must be filed electronically. The state supports electronic filing and encourages filers to utilize authorized e-filing services, which can help transmit multiple 1099s simultaneously and ensure compliance with state requirements.

Penalties

  • Late filing of 1099 forms or failure to file.
  • Filing incorrect or incomplete 1099 forms.
  • Not filing electronically when required.

The penalties vary based on the number of forms and whether the failure to comply was knowing or unknowing, ranging from $50 per form unknowingly to up to $25,000 in total for knowingly failing to comply.
