Protect your firm’s reputation and each client’s data and personal information with software for accountants that lets you bundle 1099 services. As more small businesses opt to hire a mix of employees and independent contractors, it is especially important that you can bundle W-2 and 1099 services in one easy-to-use, menu-driven program.
From 2024 to 2025, the total number of independent contractors increased from 72.7 million to 72.9 million in the United States.
These types of comprehensive programs are also beneficial for ensuring compliance if small businesses need to navigate any increased scrutiny from the Internal Revenue Service. The program that you utilize should be the most affordable solution on the market like Advanced Micro Solutions’ 1099-etc software with any of our six optional add-on modules.

Why Is It Better to Bundle 1099 Software Services in 2025?
Bundling 1099 tax and payroll services is a great way to save both time and money for yourself and any of your clients. When you get software that does not meet your clients’ expectations, it will likely create more work for you. You should instead get common software benefits like:
- Simplified pricing with all-in-one services
- The ability to pick-and-pay which services you want and when you want them
- Transparent pricing without hidden fees or unexpected spikes
- Fewer data transfers during the January filing season or struggling to integrate your different programs
These benefits, along with other technical tools, will help you to improve your overall client retention. Bundling your 1099 services also means that you know which of your third-party programs (like Excel, QuickBooks, or PeachTree) work in tandem with the software.
Common Pitfalls for Accountants to Avoid with 1099 Software
Accountants have plenty of knowledge when it comes to handling 1099s and W-2s. Yet they still require support and should avoid some of the common pitfalls that can come with tax filing for a client during a busier-than-usual tax season.
Using the Wrong Software
Despite what some may think, software is not created equally for accountants or for small businesses. Using software with enterprise-focused tools is worthwhile for internal payroll departments, but accountants who manage dozens or hundreds of small clients will likely experience situations such as:
- More time spent onboarding
- Unnecessary features
- Overly complex workflows
Make sure to ask a prospective software vendor about who typically uses their software. Do not simply rely on identifying who is their biggest customer.
Overlooking Bulk Workflows
Tax season burnout is a real thing, especially during a time when forms filing is higher in volume and most decisions that you make are driven by deadlines. Manual, client-by-client processes will often not scale and can lead to an increased risk of making mistakes. Good ways to avoid that are by:
- Getting batch printing and filing tools
- Seeing if a multi-client workflow works for you before you commit to software
- Making sure that you can automate 1099 reporting and filing processes
Bulk workflow tools are a great way to save money and resources, especially if a tight budget might preclude you from using other types of software but you want something detail-oriented. Bundling your 1099 services should also give users the tools that they need to make relevant corrections with a well-chosen pricing model.
