How to file 1099-NEC electronically?

The IRS strongly recommends that organizations and businesses file form 1099-NEC electronically (aka eFile), instead of manually printing paper filings and sending it to the IRS.

This year, IRS mandates businesses that need to report 10 or more tax returns of any type, including 1099s and W-2s are required to file it electronically.
