If the deadline is getting close

Do not assume the recipient deadline and IRS filing deadline are the same. Confirm both dates. If an IRS filing extension is needed, review Form 8809 before the filing deadline. If recipient statements need more time, review Form 15397 before the statement deadline.

Form 1099-NEC is a special case: the automatic 30-day filing extension is not available.
