Benefits of Using a 1099 E-File Service
A proactive approach to filing taxes is important whether you are an accountant or a small business owner who runs accounting and payroll in-house. Streamline workflow and offer benefits that improve your clients’ experiences. Electronic filing allows you to:
Avoid rushing or filing for clients at the last minute. Frantically rushing to meet deadlines for yourself is bad enough. Scrambling with multiple clients to hit important tax deadlines can result in many issues, not limited to greater errors or a stressed accounting team. Adopt early e-filing techniques so that your system has time to review each document and ensure accuracy.
Reduce the risk of any client e-file rejections. Building up your firm’s reliable reputation is a lot easier with 1099 e-file service software. Tax form rejections undermine efficiency and drive clients away from a firm. E-filing software should provide automated features like thoroughly verifying client data. Not needing to constantly review each bit of information will speed the process along.
Uphold the security of your clients’ data. Any e-filing technology should provide its users with enhanced data security. Stray from traditional paper filing methods that can lead to misplacing a crucial form or the wrong person getting their hands on sensitive information. Ensuring that your clients’ data has multiple levels of encryption and securing the delivery protocols will protect the best interests of everyone involved.
Spend time focused on other areas of your services. The best 1099 e-file service software does more than streamline administrative tasks. It gives accountants a chance to become truly proactive business advisors. Focus on introducing strategic and valuable advisory services for your clients. Spend less time worrying about routine tax compliance.
What Tools Do Accountants Need During Tax Season?
Making sure that your software provides you with the necessary tools is par for the course. Get electronic filing software that can verify, view, and print files while producing all of the required W-2 and 1099 files for the Internal Revenue Service and Social Security Administration. Make sure that you also consider the following accounting tools.
Extensive Tax Form Support – A complete database system is the best way to ensure that your 1099 e-file service software supports W-2, W-3, and many 1099 forms. Check ahead of time with a potential software vendor to ensure that you have all of the necessary forms. Take into consideration that your clients might need different forms each tax season.
Easy Data Entry – Making mistakes can become habitual if entering a client’s tax information is overly complex. Look for a core system that not only lets you electronically file but makes it easy to enter data onto entry screens that look like an actual tax form.
Easy Form Alignment – Spend less time worrying about whether your clients’ tax forms appear as they should. Getting software with easy form alignment will make early e-filing a possibility so you can stay on top of all tax deadlines.
Browse Command – Enter your clients’ data using a spreadsheet format when you access a Browse command feature. The tool will help you stay organized and give you a clearer look at the information that is in front of you.
Which E-Filer System is Right for Accountants?
Our 1099 e-file service gives accountants and small business owners a choice. E-File Direct is an add-on payroll system with a flat fee. E-file your clients’ documents by utilizing an unlimited number of forms. E-File Services, as an alternative, charges a fee per form. Using the service might make more sense for a smaller firm with fewer clients if you do not mind electronic filing through a third-party vendor.
Choosing E-File Direct gives you greater insight into our base W-2/1099 Forms Filer program. The filer is the foundational piece of our optional add-on modules, which include: E-File, AMS Payroll, Software Generated Forms, Affordable Care Act Filer, Forms Filer Plus, and a 1042-S Filer.
