Where we are ahead
A year of 1,000 forms costs between $1,007.50 and $2,050 at these four, before recipient copies. Here it is $200 a year, 1,000 accepted forms included, then 25¢ a form, with no form credits to prepay and none that expire.
- E-delivery with the consent Pub 1179 requires, recorded and withdrawable.
- W-9 collection by link or email, unlimited and part of the plan, with a paper record when the contractor sends a scan.
- Corrections at no charge, for tax year 2026 forms.
- Practice mode on every account, free and with no card.
Where they are ahead of us
Each does something this platform does not. Form 1099-NEC, Form 1099-MISC, and Form 1099-K are the information returns that leave this platform for the IRS. The IRS forwards state copies to participating states when your firm turns on Combined Federal/State filing for a payer; otherwise we produce the upload file and your firm uploads it. We send nothing to a state.
Tax1099. A far wider form list (1098, 1095, W-2 and 1042-S families), direct state e-filing at $2.99 a form, real-time TIN matching, and print and mail. This platform checks a TIN's shape but does not match it with the IRS, and does not mail until January 2027.
Track1099 (Avalara). Direct state e-filing at $1.49 a form, and collection of Forms W-8 and W-4 as well as the W-9. This platform collects only the W-9.
TaxBandits. Free address validation, direct state filing at 95 cents a form, payroll and W-2 filing alongside the 1099, and TIN matching at 35 cents. This platform does none of those.
efile4Biz. One price that includes printing and mailing every recipient copy for you, which this platform does not do until January 2027, and direct state filing at $1 a form per state.
Included in the price
The work around the 1099s, in the same annual price.
- W-9 collection from contractors
- Copy B emailed to recipients who consent, or produced for you to print and mail
- Corrections, at no charge
Every form we file
If a form is not listed, we do not file it.
No IRS TIN matching. No direct state filing.
What that means
No IRS TIN matching. This product does not match a TIN against the IRS's records. The check before you file flags a TIN that could not have been issued and a name that will not form a valid name control. IRS TIN Matching is a separate IRS e-Services enrollment.
No direct state filing. We never send anything to a state. For thirty-three states and the District of Columbia, we produce the upload file the state asks for, and your firm uploads it under its own account. Where you turn on the IRS's Combined Federal/State Filing program for a payer, the IRS forwards that payer's records to the participating states.
