While this won’t be a problem for most, some AMS users may be curious about whether they can file W2 and 1099 from different employers. The short answer? Yes, you can file W-2 and 1099 forms from different designated employers within the AMS system. The process is easy and does not take much time.
However, if you’re searching how to complete W2 and 1099 from different employers, take a moment to ensure this is what you want to do. Our W-2/1099 Software, as well as AMS Payroll, can certainly help you, but remember that this will only be necessary in certain situations.
Why You Might Need to File W2 and 1099 from Different Employer
There are a few reasons why you may need to file W2 and 1099 from different employers within the AMS system. We’ve outlined them in the bulleted list below.
- You own multiple business entities. Some employers who own multiple business entities may choose to do all of their accounting on a single software tool. This is possible with AMS products. If you’re filing a combination of W-2 or 1099 forms from one or more businesses, it is because you have a range of hiring needs for one or more of your businesses.
- You provide accounting services to multiple businesses. Some provide payroll and accounting services to other business. These can be independently owned accounting firms or a single person doing accounting work for multiple parties. If this is the case, you will need to set up multiple employers within your software and complete W-2 and 1099 forms accordingly.
These are the only reasons why you may need to file W2 and 1099 forms from different employers within the AMS system. It comes down to the number of businesses or entities you are responsible for. If you do accounting work for more than one business, whether you own it or simply provide accounting service, you may need to file w2 and 1099 from different employers.
