can any help me for how to file form 1099 online
Which Form 1099? There are several different 1099 forms, after all. The two most commonly used by small business are Form 1099-MISC, which is used to report report rents, royalties, prizes and awards and other fixed determinable income that are paid to others, and Form 1099-NEC, which is used to report compensation paid to independent contractors for personal services. The Form 1099-MISC and Form 1099-NEC instructions tells you how to complete and file both of these forms. If you want or file enough of them to be required to electronically file them that requires special software and the right set up to electronically transmit the forms. The information that is found here: IRS publication 1220. If you only need to do a couple of Forms 1099, it's going to be easier just to file the paper forms.

Note that unless you are the person PAYING the person, you don't file the 1099 at all. You'll possibly get one from someone who is obligated to do so when they pay you, but you don't need to do anything with it other than make sure that the income is properly reported on your 1040 (probably schedule C but as TM says above it could be for another reason). Unlike a W2, you're not obliged to file the 1099 with your tax return.

True, you can use one of those third party services — and pay whatever fee there is — to do that. The OP seemed to be asking how to do it himself, though, if the post was legit and not spam. I didn't see whatever it was that lead it to be reported as spam.

The post, in and of itself, isn't spam...yet. It's a spam seed that will (the OP hopes) blossom to become spam at a later point.
That's an assumption that may or may not turn out to be correct. If it does, then of course the follow-up ad post will end up deleted.

The person necroposted this on a post early this morning which I caught within minutes (dang wish I could sleep later) and reported. I also ent them a PM telling them to start their own.

They are surprisingly low priced. I didn't see any reason why it should have been reported as spam either. That's odd.
