All 1099 forms that you file with the IRS must be filed with the state of Maine if

• The payer issues 1099 to Maine Residents
• Payment is sourced to Maine

TaxBandits supports filing Form 1099 with both the Federal and State of Maine. However, we do not support filing the Reconciliation “Form W-3ME” with the state, and the payer is responsible for filing the form before the deadline.

What to be filed

• All 1099s (TaxBandits supports 1099 MISC, 1099 NEC,1099 INT, 1099 DIV, 1099 B, 1099 R, 1099 K, 1099 G, 1099 OID, W2G)
• Form W-3ME - Reconciliation of Maine income tax withheld

Due Date

• The filing due date to file Form 1099 is January 31.
• The filing due date to file Form W-3ME is February 28.

Penalty

The penalty for filing the 1099 late is $25 or 10% of your unpaid taxes, whichever is greater. Additionally, Maine imposes a penalty of $50 if failure to file 1099 returns after January 31 or deliberately providing a false or deceptive return of information.
