Tax1099

Overview

Tax1099 is an online filing service for information returns operated by Zenwork, Inc., with offices in Fayetteville, Arkansas and Westlake, Texas^[15]. It describes itself as an IRS-authorised e-filing platform able to file with the IRS, the Social Security Administration and the Combined Federal/State Filing programme^[15].

The relevance for small businesses is the federal e-file requirement: since tax year 2023, any business with ten or more information returns, counting W-2s, must file them electronically^[16]. Tax1099 creates, validates and schedules 1099, W-2 and related forms, generates 1096 and W-3 summaries, resubmits IRS-rejected forms, runs real-time and bulk TIN matching and USPS address validation, collects W-9 and W-8 forms and delivers recipient copies electronically or by print and mail^[15]. Data can be uploaded in bulk or imported through more than 12 integrations including QuickBooks, Xero and BILL^[15].

Prices start from US$0.72 per form, with payroll forms from US$1.99 per form for tax year 2026; a full schedule is available through a quote or calculator^[15]. The IRS also runs a free portal, IRIS, which handles small volumes without software^[16].
