What is IRS Form 1096?

About Form 1096, Annual Summary and Transmittal of U.S. Information ReturnsForm 1096, Annual Summary and Transmittal of U.S. Information Returns (Info Copy Only)Form 1096 is used by filers of paper Forms 1099, 1098, 5498, and W-2G to transmit copies to IRS. It is not used to transmit electronically or magnetically.

What happens if a company issued 1099-MISC to its contractor but did not file a 1096 or submit the 1099-MISC copies to the IRS?

Nothing unless the company gets audited.If the company gets audited, it’ll be assessed penalties for failure to file, which top out for tax year 2017 at $260 per information return filed after August 1, never filed, or filed improperly, with a maximum penalty of $3,218,500 per year ($1,072,500 for small businesses). For tax year 2018, this rises to $270 per return, with a maximum penalty of $3,282,500 per year ($1,094,000 for small businesses).There’s no penalty for failing to file Form 1096 itself, since Form 1096 is just a “cover letter” that accompanies paper filings of Forms 1097, 1098, 1099, 3921, 3922, 5498, and W-2G. Form 1096 is not required for electronic filing, which the IRS greatly prefers.Note that if any of the unfiled information returns had tax withheld (usually, on Form 1099-R), the IRS is almost certain to audit the taxpayer when they receive tax returns from taxpayers who claim payments based on amounts withheld that the IRS has not received.
