You may mail the 1099 form(s) including an IRS form 1096 or you may electronically file them. You do not receive an 'approval' from the IRS.
This website summarizes which state may require separate filing of 1099 documents.
Whichever way you file, print out copies of all of the paperwork and retain in your files should a tax authority have questions about the forms at a later time.
