How to check the submission status of the 1099-NEC at the IRS, not turbotax online?

[vladc77]

I received a confirmation from Turboxtax online that the 1099-NEC E-file was Accepted by the IRS. Is there any way to review what was accepted by the IRS on the IRS website? I want to double-check if the form has no errors. Please share. Thank you!

You can register your account on the IRS website for your business and then view any documents that have your business' EIN on them.

Go here to register an online business account.

Thank you for trying to help! I cannot add my business to my existing account. There is only one option available. It is Add a Clean Energy account. If I use my EIN, I get an error "Invalid EIN. After 3 tries, you'll have to wait 24 hours to try again". I recently created my EIN number. Maybe that is the reason. However, it is very confusing to prompt to create an 'Add Clean Energy account'. I have no idea what it means.

It's  important to type the EIN correctly when making your entry.  Only type in your EIN. Please do not copy and paste your EIN, because spaces and hidden characters can cause your EIN to be invalid. An EIN is nine digits without spaces or dashes.

• IRS Clean Energy Authorization Permission Management

If there is an issue because the EIN is too new and not yet in the IRS system, you will know if the return rejects for that reason.  If so you would need to mail your return if that occurs.

How do you register if you are a sole proprietor? The only options through that link are designated official, partner, shareholder, and clean energy business

[RobertB4444]

A sole-proprietor will register a personal account.  Go here to create a personal account with the IRS.

If you are using your business EIN to create an account instead of your social security number then you will create a separate business account as well.  You - as the sole proprietor - are an official representing your company.

thanks. I was able to log in as an INDIVIDUAL. Where would I double check to see that my EIN is linked to my account? And where would I be able to see documents? I gave the IRS a call yesterday since it's my first time sending out a 1099 NEC and they said they cannot see documents from the 2024 tax year yet, so how would I be able to double check that the IRS got a copy of the 1099 I sent out and that all info is correct so I can avoid getting penalized?

I e-filed my form(s), how will I know it was accepted with the IRS or SSA?

After e-filing your W-2 or 1099 form, please monitor your form status in the Forms tab of the corresponding business. The form status will change from "E-File Processing" to either "E-File Accepted" or "E-File Rejected", once the Government Agency processes the form. The status change may take up to 2 to 4 weeks. You will also receive a notification by e-mail when the status changes.For W-2 and 1099-NEC, e-file is due by January 31, 2025 . For 1099-MISC, 1099-INT and 1099-DIV, efile is due by March 31, 2025.
