How to Fax a 1099 Form from iPad Air: Step-by-Step

  1. 1

    Download TigerFax

    Install TigerFax from the App Store on your iPad Air. It's free to start — no credit card required.

    💡 Tip: TigerFax is optimized for iPadOS 17+ and works on all iPads running iOS 15 or later.

  2. 2

    Scan your 1099 Form with iPad Air

    Open TigerFax and tap the camera icon. Position your iPad Air about 12 inches above the 1099 Form and let the auto-capture detect the edges. The iPad Air's 12MP rear camera produces clear document scans. For best results, use the landscape orientation and ensure the document is flat and well-lit.

  3. 3

    Upload your 1099 Form from iPad Air

    Alternatively, tap the upload icon to import your 1099 Form from Files, iCloud Drive, or any connected cloud storage. The iPad Air supports Split View, allowing you to open Files or Mail alongside TigerFax. Drag documents directly from Files into TigerFax to add them to your fax.

    💡 Tip: PDF format preserves 1099 Form formatting best. If you have a digital copy, upload it instead of scanning for the clearest result.
