Category: This field is used for the Combined Federal State Filing Program, and allows you break down the tax state category. The "tax state" is determined by the following rules:
1. State Withholding: if there is state withholding on a form for a state then that state is the "tax state" regardless of the recipient's address or category. These forms include the 1099-MISC, 1099-R and W-2G.
2. Category: When we generate your State Subsets we can use the allow the Category Field to override the state value in the recipient mailing address, but only if you have keyed in a valid state abbreviation in the Category field as shown below, then the value in Category will override the state used in the Recipient Address.
3. Recipient Address: If there is no state withholding and there is no state abbreviation in Category as discussed above then the state in the recipient address will be used.

You must provide a different data set (set of files) for each filer and for each form type. For example, if you have 3 filers for 1099-MISC, the recipients for each filer must be in a separate file, table, or worksheet. If submitting in spreadsheet format, it is expedient to create one worksheet for the filer information, and another for the recipient information.
