Paper filing
 

There is a tremendous comfort level with filing information returns by paper. Our software has many advanced printing features including:
 

• Align the data to print on red-ink forms 

• Option to print payee copy with instructions and SSN masking
• Convert to PDF and email to clients

1099 Software, 1042-S Software

With our 1099Fire™ software, you detach and insert Copy A of an IRS form into your printer and the software will print your data on top of the red-ink IRS form.  You can adjust the left and top margins so that the data prints perfectly on the form every time. Copy B and Copy C (or Copy 1, 2) can be printed on plain, letter size paper with black ink.

Do not download, print, and file Copy A with the IRS. Because paper forms are scanned during processing, you cannot file Forms 1096, 1098, 1099, 3921, 3922, or 5498 that you download and print.  Copy A must be submitted on the red-ink forms that the IRS provides (and the forms are free).

W-2 Software

Unlike the 1099 forms which are submitted to the IRS, W2/W3 forms are submitted to the Social Security Administration (SSA).  And while 1099 information returns must be submitted on red-ink forms, SSA has developed and accepts W2 and W3 substitutes on plain paper. the Our W-2 software eliminates need for W2 Copy A and W3 by laser printing SSA-approved substitutes on plain white paper.
