Testing 1099 Form Alignment on the Printer

Different printers print the same PDF report differently; therefore, you can encounter issues if you test the alignment of the 1099 forms on one printer, and then print the final forms on another printer. You should use the same printer to test the layout of the 1099 forms as well as to print the final 1099 forms.

When you mail the 1099-INT form, you must use 2-UP Double Window envelopes, which you can order from any paper vendor.

When you mail the 1099-MISC and 1099-DIV form, you must use the 1099 two-to-a-page format approved by the IRS.
