Check http://www.irs.gov/efile/article/0,,id=98114,00.html for details ... IIRC, you file the 1099's with form 1096 ... not with your 1040 or 1120/1065. Due January 31 (for recipients).

1099s are due to recipients by 31 January, although no one checks your timing.
1096s are generally due to the IRS by the end of February unless you're filing in bulk or electronically.
You can order the 1096 forms from the IRS for free, or pay bigger bucks at Office Depot...

I was going to keep my mouth shut, but. . .
I worry about you Fed. I am concerned that you are so focused on making money and making your business work, that you might be playing a bit fast and loose with the rules. Have you talked to a CPA about your business and whether under both federal and state law your contractors are in fact independant contractors and not really employees? It is an important question that we do not have enough facts here to answer. But if it turns out that you should have been treating them like employees you would have a big tax problem.
You may be just fine, but I felt I should bring the issue up.
