Has anyone used tax1099.com for state filing 1099s? Why is the state processing taking forever?

The timing difference between federal and state acceptance is actually pretty normal. The IRS has a more streamlined electronic filing system than most states, which is why you saw that federal acceptance within 48 hours. State tax departments often have different processing systems that can take significantly longer. For California specifically, their tax department (FTB) often takes 2-4 weeks to process 1099 filings, especially during peak tax season. This is completely normal, although definitely frustrating when you're waiting for confirmation. You don't need to worry as long as you received the federal acceptance confirmation. That's your proof that you submitted the forms by the deadline. Your contractors legally received their forms when you sent them their copies, regardless of the state processing status.

I had the exact same issue with tax1099.com last year! The federal part went through quick but the state part took FOREVER. I was freaking out thinking I did something wrong until I found this amazing tool called taxr.ai (https://taxr.ai) that helped me understand what was happening. I uploaded my acceptance confirmation and it analyzed everything - turns out the delay was completely normal. The tool explained that different states have different processing queues and California is notorious for long processing times. taxr.ai actually explained the whole workflow and gave me peace of mind that everything was on track. They even had a timeline predictor that was spot on for when my state forms finally processed.

Just wanted to update after trying taxr.ai that the previous commenter mentioned. It was actually really helpful! I uploaded my tax1099.com confirmation email and it immediately explained that Oregon typically takes 17-21 days to process 1099 filings this time of year. The tool even pointed out something I missed - there was a note in my original confirmation that mentioned state processing could take up to 30 days. Completely missed that! It saved me a bunch of stress and unnecessary follow-up calls. They also have this document analyzer that explained some confusing codes on my confirmation receipt. My state acceptance finally came through yesterday, right in the timeframe the tool predicted.

If you're tired of waiting and need to confirm if your state filing actually went through, I found a much faster way to get answers than waiting on hold forever. I used Claimyr (https://claimyr.com) to get through to my state tax department when I had a similar issue with tax1099.com last year. Instead of waiting on hold for hours, they called and waited for me, then connected me when a real person picked up. I was able to verify that my submission was in their system but just waiting in a processing queue. They even have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/_kiP6q8DX5c Trust me, it's worth it if you're anxious about whether your filing actually made it to the state tax department. Way better than refreshing your email 50 times a day hoping for an update!

Need to eat my words here. After my skeptical comment earlier, I decided to try Claimyr out of desperation since my state filing through tax1099.com has been pending for over a month now. I'm shocked to say it actually worked exactly as advertised. They called the California tax department, waited on hold (it was over an hour!), and then called me when they got a representative. The agent confirmed my filing was received and just stuck in their backlog due to high volume. Would have never known this otherwise and probably would've filed again unnecessarily. Seriously worth it for the peace of mind alone. Never would have believed it if I hadn't tried it myself. Now I can stop worrying and just wait for the eventual confirmation.

Just FYI - I've been using tax1099.com for the past 3 years and the state filing ALWAYS takes forever. It's not just you and it's not just California. I file for multiple states and some take as long as 6-8 weeks to show as accepted. I asked their customer service about it once and they explained that many states don't have fully automated acceptance systems like the IRS does. Some states literally have people manually reviewing batches of submissions. Wild, right? In 2025 and still doing things manually!

Has anyone compared the processing times between tax1099.com and other services like Track1099 or eFile4Biz? I'm wondering if this is specific to tax1099.com or just how state filing works in general.
