Transmitting to the IRS. Group the forms by form number and
transmit each group with a separate Form 1096. For example, if you
must file both Forms 1098 and 1099-A, complete one Form 1096 to
transmit your Forms 1098 and another Form 1096 to transmit your
Forms 1099-A. You need not submit original and corrected returns
separately. Do not send a form (1099, 5498, etc.) containing summary
(subtotal) information with Form 1096. Summary information for the
group of forms being sent is entered only in boxes 3, 4, and 5 of Form
1096. We recommend you file Forms 1099-MISC reporting NEC
separately from 1099-MISC forms not reporting NEC.
Box 1 or 2. Enter your TIN in either box 1 or 2, not both. Individuals
not in a trade or business must enter their social security number
(SSN) in box 2. Sole proprietors and all others must enter their
employer identification number (EIN) in box 1. However, sole
proprietors who do not have an EIN must enter their SSN in box 2.
Use the same EIN or SSN on Form 1096 that you use on Form 1097,
1098, 1099, 3921, 3922, 5498, or W-2G.
Box 3. Enter the number of forms you are transmitting with this Form
1096. Do not include blank or voided forms or the Form 1096 in your
total. Enter the number of correctly completed forms, not the number
of pages, being transmitted. For example, if you send one page of
three-to-a-page Forms 1098-E with a Form 1096 and you have
correctly completed two Forms 1098-E on that page, enter “2” in box
3 of Form 1096.
Box 4. Enter the total federal income tax withheld shown on the forms
being transmitted with this Form 1096.
Box 5. No entry is required if you are filing Form 1098-T, 1099-A, or
1099-G. For all other forms in the listing that follows, enter the total of
the amounts from the specific boxes identified for each form.
