The Arizona Department of Revenue (ADOR) has a system that allows registered users to electronically upload W-2 and 1099 data.
Beginning January 1, 2021, employers will have the ability to electronically submit Arizona Form A1-R or Arizona Form A1-QRT and federal Forms W-2, W-2c, W-2G, and supported federal Forms 1099. For the 2020 taxable year, the department will accept the following Forms 1099 electronically: 1099-DIV, 1099-R and 1099-MISC. The due date for these submissions is January 31, 2021.

Withholding Tutorials and FAQs
The electronic submission of the federal Forms may be completed in several ways:
The department will continue to accept the electronic filing of the Arizona Quarterly Withholding Tax Return (Arizona Form A1-QRT) through AZFSET or through AZTaxes.gov.
If you choose not to use one of these methods for the 2020 tax year, you may still mail paper copies of federal Forms W-2, W-2C, W-2G, and 1099, or you may send the department a secure CD, DVD or flash drive with the SSA formatted text file for federal Forms W-2 and W-2c, or the IRS formatted text file for federal Forms W-2G and 1099.
However, please note: for the 2021 tax year, due January 31, 2022, all federal Forms W-2, W-2c, reporting Arizona wages and/or Arizona income tax withheld and federal Forms W-2G and supported federal Forms 1099 reporting Arizona income tax withheld must be submitted by one of the electronic methods listed above.
