How to electronically file original 1099? | IRS FIRE
Original data is something you have never transmitted to the IRS before.
A late original is not a correction. If you never transmitted certain data to the IRS, then put together a
file with just the records that have never been transmitted and upload as originals. If the file is past the
due date, it's considered a late original and may be subject to a penalty. Even if its late, transmit the
data to the IRS.
