Form 1099 filing isn’t always simple. A minor information mix-up, such as an incorrect TIN or mismatched amount, can lead to form rejections, delays, and potential penalties. When you work with numerous contractors, the chance of inaccuracies increases, while efficiency decreases due to the manual effort required to report so many payments accurately.
Business owners and CPAs alike face the challenge of meeting IRS requirements while managing the inherent complexity of 1099 reporting—but it doesn’t have to be so challenging.
There are plenty of options available for 1099 filing, but choosing the right one makes all the difference. Accuracy, efficiency, and reliability are crucial, especially when you’re dealing with IRS compliance.
So, why choose TaxBandits? The answer is simple!
With TaxBandits, it’s not just about submitting forms; it’s about doing it with confidence, knowing that every step is backed by The Bandit Commitment.
Let’s delve deeper into what makes TaxBandits the best choice for your 1099 filing needs and how we can make the process seamless, accurate, and hassle-free.
The Bandit Commitment: Ensuring Right Outcome and Peace of Mind
At TaxBandits, the Bandit Commitment is more than just a feature—it’s the core belief that drives everything we do. It defines how we hold ourselves accountable, ensuring the right outcome and the peace of mind that comes with it, from the moment data enters the system to long after a return is filed.
Any tax filing platform can offer innovative features for filing, but what sets TaxBandits apart is The Bandit Commitment—our promise to stand behind every filing.
Comprehensive support for 1099 forms
It can be frustrating and time-consuming to split your tax reporting across multiple systems. TaxBandits eliminates that problem by supporting federal and state filing for a wide range of 1099 forms, including 1099-NEC, 1099-MISC, 1099-INT, 1099-DIV, 1099-DA, and many more.
A part of this comprehensive support is recipient copy distribution. Choose to deliver copies electronically, by postal mail, or both to your recipients, helping you handle all your filing requirements in one place.
This broad coverage simplifies reporting for businesses and tax professionals of all sizes. Instead of juggling multiple platforms or relying on manual spreadsheets, you can manage your required 1099 filings within one streamlined environment.
And if your reporting responsibilities extend beyond 1099s, you can still keep everything connected. TaxBandits supports 941, W-2, ACA forms, and additional forms, allowing you to manage multiple compliance obligations from a single, centralized platform.
Seamless data import: Effortless and accurate
TaxBandits understands that importing data should be simple and efficient. That’s why we offer multiple data import options to fit your workflow. You can use our standard CSV template or upload your own file to import data in bulk with ease.
Once your data is in place, importing from popular accounting software like Xero, QuickBooks, FreshBooks, or Zoho Books is just as seamless, allowing you to bring existing records directly into the platform.
We’ve also partnered with Sage and Karbon, providing exclusive features that allow users to push data directly from these platforms and initiate 1099 filing without needing to re-enter information. This not only streamlines the process but also reduces errors, saving you valuable time and ensuring accuracy from the start.
To further streamline the process, TaxBandits includes a free W-9/W-8 Manager that lets you securely request and collect recipient information online. Recipients submit their details directly, reducing manual entry and ensuring accurate data is ready for 1099 filing from the start.
For those looking to automate their filing process, you can also use our API to push data directly from your existing systems, providing even greater flexibility and efficiency.
A streamlined filing experience
Tax reporting is already complex—the software you use should simplify your workflow, not complicate it. TaxBandits’ user interface is designed for clarity and ease of use, making it accessible for first-time filers while remaining efficient for experienced professionals.
Step-by-step guidance walks you through the filing process, so you don’t need extensive tax expertise to complete your forms correctly. The intuitive dashboard and quick navigation reduce time spent figuring out the system, helping you focus on filing.
Built-in error checking and validation
IRS rejections are often caused by small, preventable mistakes. TaxBandits includes built-in validations that review your data before submission, helping you catch and correct errors early.
- Internal audit checks flag duplicates, missing fields, and inconsistent entries
- TIN matching verifies contractor SSNs or EINs against IRS records to reduce mismatches
- USPS verification ensures entered addresses are valid. Plus, NCOA checks run addresses through the National Change of Address database, reducing misdeliveries
- Smart Review and other business validation tools help you identify and fix errors early
By addressing potential problems upfront, you reduce the likelihood of corrections, rejections, and penalties, saving time and preserving valuable workflow capacity during filing season.
Support that continues after submission
Tax reporting doesn’t always end when you hit submit. Changes in data, newly discovered discrepancies, or IRS rejections may require further action. While these situations can create unexpected pressure, the Bandit Commitment alleviates this stress by making post-filing management straightforward.
When you receive an IRS notice, you can upload it into our system, and we will summarize the information and guide you on how to resolve the concern.
If corrections are required, corrected returns can be filed quickly and accurately without starting over. In the event of an IRS rejection, retransmissions can be completed seamlessly, allowing you to resolve issues promptly and stay compliant with IRS deadlines. And if you still can’t get your form to be accepted, or it’s a duplicate, we’ll refund your filing fee.
This end-to-end support ensures you’re covered not just during filing, but throughout the entire 1099 lifecycle.
Built to protect your most sensitive data
Handling sensitive tax data requires high-level protection to ensure security. TaxBandits protects your data with SOC 2 compliance, multi-factor authentication, and advanced encryption so that you never have to worry about the safety of your data.
Form copies are also securely stored and can be accessed when needed, allowing you to safely store and retrieve your data for recordkeeping.
