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

  1. 1

    Download TigerFax

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

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

  2. 2

    Scan your 1099 Form with iPad mini

    Open TigerFax and tap the camera icon. Position your iPad mini about 12 inches above the 1099 Form and let the auto-capture detect the edges. The iPad mini's 12MP rear camera is the same quality as the iPhone 13's. Hold it steady about 10 inches above the document for the best scan quality.
