1099 filed by TurboTax a day late (Feb 1 instead of Jan 31)

[mogwai]

I submitted my 1099-NEC forms electronically through TurboTax ("Quick Employer Forms") early afternoon on Jan 31. I did not receive a confirmation until the following morning and the email states that the submit/file date (not accept date) to the IRS was 2/1.

Do I need to be concerned that the 1099's were filed late past the Jan 31 deadline?

No, you don't have to be concerned that the 1099's were accepted on 2/1/22, which is past the 1/31/22 deadline.  

• When you file electronically, the date and time in your time zone when your return is transmitted, controls whether your return is filed timely.
• You e-filed on 1/31/22 and your return was pending so it was not late.
• For additional information, see IRS Topic No. 301, When, How, and Where to File.

@HelenC12 thank you for your response, but let me clarify. Your response said "accepted on 2/1". The email confirmation on 2/1 says they were submitted to the IRS on 2/1. They have not yet been accepted. 

To recap, I submitted the forms on the TurboTax Quick Employer Forms site on 1/31. Intuit did not submit/file the forms with the IRS until 2/1.

There should be no reason for concern.  Your file date will be present in the electronic portion of the documents received by the IRS.
