I am preparing a 1099 for my contractor. Do I also have to send my independent contractor 1099 to the state department or do I just include this info when I pay taxes.

I am preparing a 1099 for an independent contractor for the first time for my business. Do I also have to send this to the state department or do I just include this info when I pay taxes.

Do you mean your state department of revenue? In what state did the independent contractor perform the work? It depends upon the state laws.

The state that I live in only requires that the department of revenue be informed when state income taxes have been withheld from the payment to the independent contractor. Your state rules could be different.
