No state income tax

FIRE closes 19 November 2026

The IRS is retiring FIRE. It accepts information returns until 3 p.m. ET on 19 November 2026, and from 1 January 2027 IRIS is the only electronic channel - including for prior-year returns and corrections. New Transmitter Control Codes are no longer issued through FIRE, so a TCC application now has to go through IRIS.

IRS notice

Does New Hampshire require a separate 1099 filing?

New Hampshire levies no personal state income tax, and generally does not require information returns such as 1099 forms to be filed with the state.

With no personal income tax to administer, New Hampshire has no reason to collect the 1099 data the IRS collects, so for most filers the federal filing is the whole obligation. This is the simplest category to work in, and the one where filers most often over-file out of caution. Note that "no income tax" is not "no state reporting at all": states in this group can still run business, franchise, excise or gross-receipts regimes with their own filings, and a few tax narrow categories of income. Those obligations are unrelated to information returns but are worth separating in your own compliance calendar so a nil 1099 obligation does not get read as a nil state obligation.

What to do for New Hampshire

  • 1File the federal information returns with the IRS.
  • 2Do not expect a 1099 submission to New Hampshire for most payment types.
  • 3Keep any New Hampshire business, franchise or excise obligations tracked separately - they are unaffected by the absence of a personal income tax.
  • 4Recheck if you begin withholding state tax for workers in another state.

New Hampshire 1099 filing questions

Does New Hampshire require 1099 filing?

Generally no. New Hampshire has no personal state income tax, so there is no state information-return filing to make for most payment types. The federal filing with the IRS remains required.

Do I still file 1099 forms with the IRS for New Hampshire recipients?

Yes. Federal information-return obligations are unaffected by which state the recipient lives in. A New Hampshire contractor paid $600 or more still needs a federal 1099-NEC.

Does New Hampshire have any state reporting at all?

It can. States without a personal income tax may still run business, franchise, excise or gross-receipts regimes with their own filings. Those are separate from information returns and should be tracked separately.
