I am a part of a small study group of 10 other people. We are studying all of Chris’s videos and the courses on LegaliBus. We have a question about acting as trustees for each other.
When the trustee mails all of the completed 1099 forms to US Treasury, do they only submit copy A or keep all carbon copies attached?
The General Instructions for Forms 1099 and 1096 state that only copy A is to be submitted. But I keep hearing that when the beneficiary receives copy B of 1099-A from the treasury, they will know their endorsed 1099-A has been accepted.

I sent in all 1099 A attached - I also sent in the 1099-OID completely attached as the IRS sent them to me in the mail. I don't separate any of the forms. I followed all instructions to the letter. I purchased an old Brother typewriter off of ebay in good working condition - to complete all my forms the old fashion way. Mailed all the forms to the United States Treasury certified return receipt per instructions. Good Luck!
Just mailed 2 envelopes to 1111 Constitution Ave; and I chose to leave the Documents whole. Decided to let the IRS & Treasury separate the documents themselves. I'll repost when the Beneficiaries receive Copy B.
I did have to follow up with Form 8281 for both of these mailings. Sent them to Ogden, UT.
Here’s what I’ve learned:
Chris likes to submit everything attached so as to get confirmation of acceptance by Treasury/IRS when the beneficiary receives copy B, but it is also possible to send only copy A of the 1099A and 1099OID with the 1096 and 1040V as directed in the IRS instructions. I chose to send only copies A. I have a friend who chose to send all carbons still attached. We will see what happens and report back.
