You can usually file certain 1099 forms online for free, but it depends on which 1099 you mean and whether you’re the payer or the recipient.
Common free options

Used by businesses to file some 1099s, but it’s mainly for organizations and may require enrollment. - IRIS (Information Returns Intake System)
The IRS’s newer free online system for filing many 1099 forms. - Your tax software/provider
Some offer free e-file for a limited number of 1099s.
Important note
If you’re asking about sending a 1099 to someone as a business, you generally need to file it with the IRS and give a copy to the recipient by the deadline.
To point you to the right free option, tell me:
- Which 1099 form — 1099-NEC, 1099-MISC, 1099-K, etc.
- Are you filing as a business/payer or as an individual/recipient?
- Roughly how many forms do you need to file?
If you want, I can give you the exact free IRS filing link for your 1099 type.
