This topic explains how to create state 1099 files and provides a list of the specific 1099 file types that can be processed for each state using Accounting CS.

Creating state 1099 files

A client's state 1099 files are processed automatically when you process their federal 1099 Copy A and the 1096 using the Internet filing method. For details about how to process those forms, see Printing 1099 forms. The application creates the federal and state 1099 files using the following (default) file structure.

WinCSI\Accounting CS Data\Forms\[processing period end date]\[jurisdiction abbreviation]\Batch File X\[actual file]

Example

If you're processing the federal and Massachusetts 1099 forms at the same time:

  • The federal 1099 is created in this folder: WinCSI\Accounting CS Data\Forms\12-31-XX\US\Batch File X\filename.
  • The Massachusetts 1099 is created in this folder: WinCSI\Accounting CS Data\Forms\12-31-XX\MA\Batch File X\filename.

To determine which 1099 file types are available for each state, refer to the state-specific information in the following section.
