Best Customer Service on the market!!! 1095-C Software was easy to use, their sample document and instructional videos provided exceptionally clear instructions. We were doing a complicated process and the 1099Fire team, especially Dan and Amy went above and beyond to help us! I am extremely grateful we found them and cannot thank them enough for all of their help and expertise! We will absolutely use them again!!

We did it again! We have been using 1099Fire to generate our 1094’s and 1095’s since the Affordable Care Act was passed and the filings were required. The customer service is 5 stars! Dan, Amy, and Abby are always very helpful and professional. I would strongly recommend them for all your filing needs.

I'd tried a competitor but have never changed since trying 1099Fire. They PICK UP THE PHONE and help with issues. I've tried both outsourcing to them (ACA reporting) and doing it myself, using their software. I went back to outsourcing, seeing how much time it can take to fix errors, how many complications can arise, and how much the IRS can F__k you for getting this wrong. Highly recommend 1099Fire! Dan and Amy are phenomenal!
