Tax Returns Due

Payers of gambling winnings must file Copy A of Forms W-2G issued for 2018, together with transmittal Form 1096 for paper filings with the IRS. If Forms W-2G are filed electronically, the due date for filing them with the IRS is April 1. (The due date for giving the recipient Forms W-2G was January 31.)

File information returns (for example, certain Forms 1099) for certain payments you made during 2018. However, Forms 1099-MISC reporting nonemployee compensation must be filed with the IRS by January 31. There are different forms for different types of payments, so use a separate Form 1096 to summarize and transmit the forms for each type of payment. If Forms 1099-MISC, other than those reporting nonemployee compensation, are filed electronically, the due date for filing them with the IRS is April 1.
