Gone are the days of intimidating tax forms, because tax software is more user-friendly than ever before. Using tax software with e-filing tools can help you to:
- Reduce the likelihood of making errors versus manual filing
- Keep your data safe and secure
- Get faster refunds and responses from the IRS for yourself and employees
Advanced Micro Solutions has two plug-ins that will allow you to electronically file your 1099 and W-2 forms. Anyone can file electronically, but it is required, even for small businesses, who must file 10 or more forms for the upcoming tax year.
Even if you have a smaller business that does not meet that threshold, why wait to reap the benefits of 1099 electronic filing?
We provide E-File software options that allow users to select options like:
- E-File Direct (add-on module to base program)
- E-File Services (via third-party vendor)
Form preparation begins with the base W-2/1099 Forms Filer program. The data is then readily transferable to either of our e-file plug-ins. Save more time and material costs by not needing to load your printer with special forms. There is no need to worry about running out of paper forms or the expense of ordering too many forms.
E-File Direct
The 1099 electronic filing software generates the file needed to transfer the form using the IRS FIRE system and the Social Security Administration. For a flat fee, you can upload an unlimited number of forms for both federal filings and any state that supports electronic filing.
- Produce required W-2 and 1099 files for the IRS/SSA
- Create files in the program’s directory
- Verify, view and print files
- Create state W-2 files for all states that require electronic filing
E-File Services
File your 1099 forms with a third-party vendor who has integrated our 1099-etc software with their software. There are three versions of e-file services available, which are all customizable for your business needs and budget. The price for any of these options depends on how much you need to print.
- The first option is e-filing with the SSA, IRS, and the state. The employer or accountant is still responsible for mailing the paper forms to employees.
- The second option is to have the forms mailed to the employees, while the employer or accountant remains responsible for filing with the government.
- The third option is to combine the first two options: Have a third-party vendor take care of both e-filing with the government and mailing the paper forms to employees
Lastly, the software can bulk print and mail forms to the employer, as well as employee mailings. You are still responsible for filing with the government.
