How to Fax a 1099 Form from iPhone 12: Step-by-Step

1. 1

   Download TigerFax

   Install TigerFax from the App Store on your iPhone 12. It's free to start — no credit card required.

   💡 Tip: TigerFax is optimized for iOS 14+ and works on all iPhones running iOS 15 or later.

2. 2

   Scan your 1099 Form with iPhone 12

   Open TigerFax and tap the camera icon. Position your iPhone 12 about 12 inches above the 1099 Form and let the auto-capture detect the edges. The iPhone 12's Night mode can help when scanning documents in low-light environments. If the auto-capture doesn't trigger, tap the shutter button manually after positioning the document.

3. 3

   Upload your 1099 Form from iPhone 12

   Alternatively, tap the upload icon to import your 1099 Form from Files, iCloud Drive, or any connected cloud storage. iOS 14 on iPhone 12 introduced App Library and improved widget support. You can add a TigerFax widget to your home screen for quick access to your fax history.

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