What is current through Tax Year 2011
The 1099 report program first used to report Tax Year 2010 can be used again to report Tax Year 2011. It is expected to continue to work until at least November 1, 2012. The version number is 4.0, which appears in the title bar of the program. It can be used to report closings produced in Power Closer 3 (the old HUD form) and Power Closer 4 (the new HUD form).
What is now out of date
The 1099 report programs first used for Tax Years 2006, 2007, and 2008, were all accepted by IRS for reporting Tax Year 2009. However, IRS has made changes that render those programs no longer usable after November 1, 2010. IRS has made changes to the electronic filing specifications which render all older versions of Power Closer's optional 1099 Annual Report program out of date. Users should update to the current version. The current version should be used even for filing returns for earlier tax years.
Versions that were valid through 2009
The 1099 Annual Report program for TY 2007/2008/2009Power Closer 1099 Annual Report Program version 3.3.x for Tax Year
2007, released in November, 2007, runs with
Windows 95, 98, Me, NT, 2000, XP, Vista, or Windows 7. It was originally designed to comply with the Tax Year
2007 data specification. It remained valid for filings made through October 2010. |
The 1099 Annual Report program for TY 2006If you purchased Power Closer 1099 Annual Report Program version 3.2.31 for Tax Year 2006, it was our understanding that you could continue to use it through October 2010, subject to the following cautions. During the summer of 2007, IRS changed the filing data specification for Tax Year 2007. Normally, this would require updating the report software. However, because of the nature of the changes, and based on our conversations with IRS representatives, our test filings and customer reports, IRS generally accepted data prepared using version 3.2.31 through October 2010. If you used version 3.2.31 then, it was prudent to file early to allow time to resubmit if that became necessary. You could also verify that your data was accepted by IRS. To do this, you would revisit the IRS website on or about the next business day after you uploaded the electronic submission, and examine the status of your submission to see if it had been accepted. Please note that Power Closer 1099 Annual Report Program version 3.2.31 was not designed to run on Windows Vista or Windows 7, and might probably encounter problems running on those software platforms. That problem was fixed beginning in 1099 Annual Report Program version 3.3.0 for Tax Year 2007. Users of Vista and Windows 7 should also upgrade Power Closer 3 to at least Power Closer version 3.3 |
The 1099 Annual Report program for older versions
Older versions of the 1099 Annual Report were rendered obsolete when IRS made changes to report filing specifications effective November 1, 2010.
| Version | Useful life (TY=Tax Year) | |
| TY 2007 | v 3.3.x, updated for Vista, worked through TY 2009. | |
| TY 2006 | v. 3.2.31 worked for TY 2009 for most users. | |
| TY 2003 | reported TY 2003, 2004, 2005, now out of date. | |
| TY 2002 | reported TY 2002. | |
| TY 2001 | reported TY 2001. | |
| TY 1998 | reported TY 1998, 1999, 2000. |
Recognizing out-of-date versions
The report program file normally installed in a workstation's Power Closer program folder, usually C:\P-Closer\1099rept.exe. The program's initial title bar read "Select Tax-ID for this 1099 Annual Report (3.x.xx)". If the program window is very narrow, you may have to widen or maximize it to see the version number in the title bar.
We recommend that the obsolete programs be deleted to avoid using
them by mistake. Once the program is out of date, IRS no
longer accepts data created with them even for the tax year for which they were originally
designed. If you use an out of date version, IRS will probably be unable
to read the data, and you will likely receive a notice giving ten
days to resubmit in the correct format or incur penalties.
