Publication 5717 adds: "Each state’s filing requirements are subject to change by the state. It is the filer’s responsibility to contact the participating state(s) to verify their criteria and special data entry requirements." A state on the list may still want its own filing or registration, and a state not on the list has to be filed with directly if it requires the form.

How the column is written in the 1099-NEC CSV

ColFieldRule (tax year 2025 guidelines)
APCombined Federal/State Filing (CF/SF) Check all states that apply.State abbreviations separated by commas and wrapped in quotation marks, for example "AL,CA,DE". No duplicates.

Because the list of states sits in one cell with commas inside it, the cell has to be wrapped in quotation marks or the commas split it into extra columns. Perfrow writes the quotation marks for you and leaves the cell empty when you are not in the program.

Fix the whole file at once

Drop in your blank IRIS template and your spreadsheet. Perfrow cleans every row, tells you which ones need you, and writes CSVs of at most 250 records. It runs in your browser, so names and TINs stay on your computer.
