Filing requirements

Oklahoma requires direct filing of 1099-NEC with the state for tax year 2026. Federal filing through the IRS Combined Federal/State Filing (CF/SF) Program does not, on its own, satisfy the Oklahoma requirement for 1099-NEC; a separate state submission is required.

Form 1099-NEC must be filed directly with the Oklahoma Tax Commission through OkTAP — it is not part of the IRS Combined Federal/State Filing program. Upload an IRS Publication 1220 text file via the OkTAP W-2/1099/500 Filing Center. Paper is not accepted. Due January 31.

Conditional rules

Specific scenarios that change the baseline requirement above:

ConditionExplanation
1099-NEC cannot be filed via the Combined Federal/State Filing program

Unlike all other 1099 series forms, Form 1099-NEC is not eligible for the IRS Combined Federal/State Filing (CF/SF) program in Oklahoma. Payers must upload 1099-NEC files directly to the Oklahoma Tax Commission through OkTAP using the IRS Publication 1220 layout. Opting into CF/SF for 1099-NEC does not satisfy the Oklahoma filing requirement.

Direct filing required when box 1 amount is $750 or more

Per OK Form 501 (Annual Information Return) Rev 2025 instructions: "Persons making payments to professional individuals should report them when they amount to $750 or more in the calendar year." Combined with OK's exclusion of 1099-NEC from the CF/SF program ("1099-NEC is not part of CF/SF program and must be submitted directly to OTC"), 1099-NEC must be filed directly to the Oklahoma Tax Commission via OkTAP whenever box 1 amount is $750 or more — regardless of whether OK income tax was withheld.

Deadlines and extensions

Filing deadline
January 31
Holiday/weekend rollover. If the deadline falls on a weekend or a federal holiday, the next business day generally applies. Check with Oklahoma for the exact observed calendar before filing.

Additional notes

Oklahoma requires all 1099 reporting to be submitted electronically via OkTAP — paper 1099s are no longer accepted. Filers can satisfy most 1099 obligations either by (a) participating in the IRS Combined Federal/State Filing (CF/SF) program (state code 40), which forwards 1099-MISC, 1099-DIV, 1099-INT, 1099-R, 1099-B, 1099-G, and 1099-OID to Oklahoma automatically, or (b) uploading an IRS Publication 1220-format text file directly through the OkTAP W-2/1099/500 Filing Center. Form 1099-NEC is not part of the CF/SF program and must always be filed directly with the OTC via OkTAP. 1099-NEC is due January 31; all other 1099 forms are due March 31.
