A common and valid concern among our customers is the security of their data when electronically filing to the IRS through our software. Social security numbers are highly sensitive, and it’s crucial to exercise extreme caution when handling and sharing them.

With our software, you can electronically file your data directly to the IRS. You have options:

1. Manually log into the IRS website and browse to find your data and upload. Or…

2. Click the transmit button in the 1099 software and the software will login for you and upload your file using your login information and passcode.

Either way, the data you transmit to the IRS is sent directly from your computer to the IRS.

Review files
Other vendors of 1099 software have the data sent from your individual computer to their service bureau. The service bureau typically reviews the data before transmitting to the IRS (and charge you per record that you efile through them).

Our 1099 software has a review feature built into the software and will double check your file and let you know if there are any potential errors. The review button is a great feature; we upload 100’s of files through the IRS FIRE Testing System every year. Many of those files that we submit have known errors in the file. We build in the same error warnings and codes that the IRS provides into our software. If our 1099 software reviews the file and comes back with ‘0 potential errors’ at the end of the review, then the file is ready to efile and rarely comes back as BAD.

If an error does arise, you can always call or email us the error and we can let you know the solution.
