1099-Help

File your 1099s and be done with it.

Prepare 38 different information returns and send them electronically to the IRS. Your payees get their copies from the same place, without a paper form in sight.

Tax year 2025. Pay per return — no subscription, and credits do not expire.

All 38 file electronically, print payee statements and take corrections, and the price is the same whichever you file. The desktop edition covers 29 of them. Nine need the hosted edition because the IRS hasn't published a portal template for them yet: 1097-BTC, 1098-C, 1098-F, 1098-Q, 1098-VLI, 1099-DA, 1099-LPS, 1099-LTC and 5498-TA.

Electronic filing

Returns go to the IRS electronically and come back with an acknowledgement and a receipt ID for your records. No mailing, no Form 1096.

Payee statements

Recipient copies as print-ready PDFs that follow the IRS rules for substitute statements, with the payee's TIN truncated on the copy that travels by post.

TIN matching

Check a payee's name and taxpayer identification number against IRS records before you file, rather than finding out in a penalty notice.

Corrections

Got a number wrong, or the IRS rejected a record? File a correction against the original without rebuilding the batch by hand.

Combined Federal/State Filing

For participating states, one filing covers both. The state copy goes out with the federal one instead of being a second job.

Import what you have

Bring payees in from a spreadsheet, check them over, and keep them for next year. Last season's list is the starting point for this one.

How it works

Four steps, and the last one is waiting for an email.

  1. Add your payees

    Type them in or import a spreadsheet. Names, addresses and TINs are checked as you go.

  2. Enter the amounts

    One form per payee, laid out like the paper form so you can check it against your books.

  3. Review and file

    Every return is validated before it leaves. What the IRS would reject, you see first.

  4. Get the acknowledgement

    We email you what the IRS said — accepted, or exactly which record needs fixing.

Two ways to run it

The same software either way. The difference is who holds the filing credentials and where the data lives.

Hosted

We file for you

Sign in and work in the browser. Filing goes through our transmitter credentials, so there is nothing to register with the IRS and nothing to install.

  • Nothing to install or maintain
  • No IRS transmitter application to file
  • Invite the rest of your team
  • Your data stays in your own workspace
Desktop

You file, under your own credentials

Runs on your own machine against a local database. It prepares the filing and you upload it to the IRS yourself, under your own Transmitter Control Code.

  • Data never leaves your computer
  • Files under your own TCC
  • One license, no per-user sign-in
  • For firms that already have IRIS access
