The most simple way to get a copy of your tax records is to go to the company you filed with and ask for a copy. By law, in the USA, tax preparation companies have to keep their customers taxes on file for at least 7 years in case the customer is audited (This law may vary by state). If you did not file with a tax preparation company the year of the record you require, or can't remember where you filed, then you'll have to contact your local IRS branch for a copy. This may take 6-8 weeks if the IRS is open (from January 1st until April 15th) and may take double that amount of time if the IRS is no longer accepting tax return information.

Does Copy 1 for State Tax Department go to the recipient with Copy B of the 1099 MISC form?

No, Copy 1 goes to the State in which your company works... However, some states don't require you to send 1099's to them. Copy B and Copy 2 go to the recipient. It is up to the recipient to file Copy 2 with their own state tax return (when required). Copy C is what you keep for your records, so basically you can just photocopy one of the other forms so you don't have to purchase Copy C. And Copy A goes to the IRS. To summarize: Copy A + 1096 Transmittal Form = IRS Copy B + Copy 2 = recipient/independent contractor/individual Copy 1 = State Tax Department (when required) Copy C = keep for your records (payer) Hope this helps!
