Can a business file a 1099 form with IRS at anytime for any year?

Yes and no.

Copy B from a 1099 form is sent by a payer typically by the end of January for the prior tax year.  The payer must paper file the 1099 forms along with the 1096 (summary of the 1099’s) by the end of February or electronically file by the end of March.  The payer can file an online extension giving them until the end of April to efile.

In theory, a payer can paper or electronically file any 1099 form almost any time of the year, but if the forms are late, the IRS may assess a penalty.
