With the deadline three days away, businesses must act now to meet the February 2 filing requirement and avoid penalties.
FAYETTEVILLE, AR AND DALLAS, TX / ACCESS Newswire / January 30, 2026 / There are three days remaining for businesses and tax professionals to complete their 2025 IRS information return filings. The deadline for submitting the return is February 2, 2026.
Tax1099, an award-winning IRS-authorized e-filing platform, is providing the tools and support necessary to complete 2025 TY filings accurately and on time, helping avoid penalties and last-minute processing issues.
Updated Deadline Reminder & IRS Rule
The original 1099 filing deadline is January 31, which falls on a weekend this year. Under IRS rules, the official filing date for the 2025 tax year is therefore shifted to the next business day, i.e., Monday, February 2, 2026.
Forms Affected by the Feb. 2, 2026, Deadline
With just three days left to file, here's a quick reminder of the commonly filed forms that are due by Feb 2, 2026:
Form Name | Deadline Type |
Form 1099-NEC | Recipient copy delivery and IRS filing |

Consequences of Missing the Feb 2, 2026, Deadline
Businesses that fail to file on time may face significant IRS penalties and compliance issues.
The penalties for late filing of information returns start at $60 per form (for filing that is up to 30 days late) and can go up to $340 per form if filed after August 31. Intentional disregard or willful failure to file can cost $680 per form, with no maximum limit.
Beyond penalties, businesses that don't file on time also face additional compliance notices and corrections. Receiving IRS notices and the follow-up steps required to resolve the issue can take time and require additional effort.
