Forms received between January 1 and 26 are mailed on a weekly basis. Forms received between January 27, and the due date (January 31, by 3:00 PM EST) are guaranteed to be postmarked by the due date. In February, we resume weekly mailing. Recipients should receive their copies within 5-7 business days after mailing.
If you ordered the TIN Checking add-on service, we would perform the TIN check before mailing recipient statements. If the TIN check fails, we let you know and hold the statements until the TIN check is successful. To avoid a late penalty around the deadline, we have to mail out all statements, even if the TIN check was unsuccessful. If we mail out a statement with a failed TIN check, you must file a correction to change the TIN. If the IRS TIN check service is not available, it may affect our mailing out paper statements. We reserve the right to mail paper statements before the TIN check is complete to avoid any late penalty.
We deliver recipient's statements electronically if you have provided us with a recipient’s email. We wait three days for the recipient to accept e-delivery. If the recipient does not accept e-delivery, we mail out a paper copy. As we approach the deadline, we mail out paper statements if we cannot wait for the recipient’s acceptance.
If a recipient accepts e-delivery, they can access their forms right away.
You can print or download your copies soon after payment.
