Form enc3 1099 Format (11-2015) http://www.dornc.com/enc3/ North Carolina Department of Revenue P. O. Box 25000 Raleigh, NC 27640 (877) 252-3052 toll-free enc3 Specifications for 1099 Reporting Submit all information returns to North Carolina, whether NC income tax has been withheld or not withheld for the following forms: 1099-R Distributions from Pensions, Annuities, Retirement or Profit-sharing, etc. 1099-MISC Miscellaneous Income 1099-G Certain Government Payments NC-1099PS Personal Services Income Paid to a Nonresident (treat as 1099-MISC return) NC-1099-ITIN Compensation Paid to an ITIN Contractor (treat as 1099-MISC return) NOTE: Form W-2G Certain Gambling Winnings (NC Lottery Commission only) must still be submitted via CD as this form is not yet available for the new electronic filing methods. Part VII of Session Law 2015-259 includes changes to the withholding law which are designed to increase tax compliance and help the Department combat tax fraud. The changes affect the manner in which Form NC-3 and the Department's copies of W-2s, 1099s and other withholding statements are filed and when they are due. The changes are effective for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2015. For tax year 2015, the changes apply only to information returns required to be filed in 2016. As amended, G.S. 105-163.7 requires Form NC-3 and copies of withholding statements to be filed on or before January 31 of the succeeding year and in electronic format as prescribed by the Secretary of Revenue. The Secretary may, upon show of good cause, waive the electronic submission requirement. To implement this legislation, the Department is currently developing three new electronic filing (enc3) options for taxpayers: (1) web file upload (2) bulk transmittal, and (3) web online entry (not available for Jan 2016 filing). These new methods will replace the current filing options of filing via paper. The Department encourages electronic filing (web file upload or bulk transmittal are preferred); however CD submission will still be accepted. Paper filing option should only be utilized if the taxpayer does not have access to a computer. Bulk Transmittal All NC-3, W-2, and 1099 formats can be found on the TIGERS website. http://www.statemef.com/fset_new.shtml Web File Upload See below for the Web File Upload specifications. The file must meet the requirements for filing Federal 1099 information as specified in Internal Revenue Service Publication 1220. Although North Carolina participates in the IRS Combined Federal/State Filing 1
Program, returns which report NC income tax withheld must be filed directly to North Carolina Department of Revenue. CD ROM and Paper Please refer to the DP-43 and posted on the department s website at www.dornc.com Web File Upload Specifications for 1099s From the NC DOR webpage, you ll be able to access the enc3 Application. NC DOR is utilizing the same W-2 and 1099 file layouts for Tax Year 2015 which were used in Tax Year 2014. The specifications for these files can be found at the following location (http://www.dornc.com/enc3/). NC-3 information will be manually keyed into the website, but NC DOR will accept file uploads for W-2s and 1099s (including 1099R, 1099MISC, 1099G, NC-1099-ITIN, NC-1099-PS). The file creation process for the taxpayer will be the same for Tax Year 2015 as it was for Tax Year 2014, but the taxpayer will now have the ability to upload an electronic file to the NC DOR website rather than copy the file(s) to a CD. 1.
