New Mexico 1099-NEC Filing Requirements, Tax Year 2026
What New Mexico requires from businesses filing 1099-NEC (Nonemployee compensation) for tax year 2026: deadline, accepted format, CF/SF treatment, registration, and penalties, backed by primary-source citations.
Filing requirements
Federal filing through the IRS Combined Federal/State Filing (CF/SF) Program satisfies New Mexico's 1099-NEC reporting requirement for tax year 2026. No separate state submission is required when the IRS forwards the record to New Mexico under CF/SF.
New Mexico participates in the Combined Federal/State Filing Program (state code 35), which forwards 1099-NEC data to TRD when filers opt in. New Mexico does not have a separate statutory requirement to file 1099-NEC with TRD even when NM income tax was withheld on the non-employee compensation; filers may voluntarily upload via TAP at https://tap.state.nm.us using the IRS Publication 1220 specification.
Conditional rules
Specific scenarios that change the baseline requirement above:
| Condition | Explanation |
|---|---|
| 1099-NEC direct-filing not statutorily required |
Per FYI-330 Rev. 12/2025, NM does not statutorily require 1099-NEC submission to TRD even when NM income tax was withheld via TRD-41409. CF/SF (state code 35) is the practical path; direct TAP upload remains optional. |
Deadlines and extensions
Accepted format
Federal filing through the IRS Combined Federal/State Filing Program satisfies New Mexico's 1099-NEC requirement. No separate state submission is required, so there is no state-specific file format to conform to. The IRS transmits 1099-NEC records to New Mexico automatically after accepting the CF/SF submission.
Registration
Registration required: Yes
Late-filing penalties
New Mexico penalty overview
Quarterly withholding information return penalty (NMSA 7-3-13(D)): $50 per missed/non-electronic filing for any employer with more than 50 employees that fails to file the quarterly withholding information return on time or on a department-approved electronic medium.
Tax preparer e-file penalty (NMSA 7-1-71.4): $5 per personal-income-tax return filed in violation of the preparer e-file mandate (applies to preparers of more than 25 NM PIT returns; not directly a 1099 information-return penalty).
