Tax1099 Review<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The podcast begins with the host, Randy Johnston, talking about how taxes are something that everyone has to do.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

He segues into a variety of technologies available to tax practitioners that help address the \u201cpainful\u201d experiences of filing 1099s and W2s.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

He suggests, \u201cWith the help of the right platform and the right tools,\u201d the experience surrounding these filings doesn\u2019t have to be so painful.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Having been familiar with a variety of tax filing tools, Randy, and his co-host, Brian, begin to review Tax1099<\/a> and share their views.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cA Strategy Change For Your Firm\u201d\u00a0<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Right off the bat, Brian introduces Tax1099<\/a> as \u201ca strategy change\u201d for firms.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

He gets real, \u201cnobody gets paid their worth for doing 1099s\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Forms like W2s, 1099s, 1042s, payroll forms and other similar forms are a part of the tax regime.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

He explains that most tax practitioners resort to outsourcing 1099 form preparations and filings to someone else at reasonable pricing to save time and energy.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This is because even though the forms do not profit the tax practitioners, they\u2019re still obligated to do them for their clients.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

These \u201cregime\u201d forms are an unignorable part of the IRS\u2019 voluntary tax compliance mandate<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Alternatively, practitioners can also provide value to the compliance aspects.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

However, providing further value to a rigid process like this, is not an easy bargain.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

So, instead, practitioners should consider automating the process itself because it helps navigate your firm through peak filing season in January (the busiest time of the year for tax practitioners and CPA firms).\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Losing hours and days on mundane tasks like 1099s and W2s preparation takes away chunks of productive time (which you should be ideally spending on other operational aspects of your business).\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Brian adds that buying some tax software available on a CD at OfficeMax or Office Depot and using it to prepare your clients\u2019 1099s is no longer viable.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cHonestly, those days are gone\u201d, he notes.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cI Have Personally Used Tax1099 For Many Years\u201d\u00a0<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Circling back to Tax1099, Brian says that Tax1099 is a tool that he has been \u201cpersonally using for many years\u201d to eFile 1099s<\/a> and W2s.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Providing his views on using Tax1099, Brian says, \u201cWhat I like about it is that I can get in, I can do the work, and they (Tax1099) deal with the electronic filing, they deal with the mailing,\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

He continues, \u201cAnd I just write a check, and make that go away.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201dAnd the pricing is pretty reasonable,\u201d he notes.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Brian also acknowledges how Tax1099 is integrated with top-rated accounting software tools like Tipalti, QuickBooks, Bill, Xero, FreshBooks, Sage Intacct, Excel, and many more<\/a>, and provides API support<\/a> as well.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cThis (Tax1099) gives you a tool that will work with the majority of your small business clients,\u201d He further explains.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cIf your clients need you to get their 1099s and W2s filed, and you don\u2019t want to do it, this gives you an easy way out.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Tax1099 is a convenient way to get things done without doing much, and getting it right.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Talking about the times he\u2019s used Tax1099 for his clients, Brian says, \u201cI\u2019ve used this for about a few years and what I like about it is that I can spend 15 minutes, and then the 1099-W2 theory just rains this stuff down to them (clients) through an email, and it also sends them a link so that they can get their taxes filed.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

He notes how Tax1099 has saved him from receiving \u201c500 million calls\u201d a day asking him for an update on their W2 and 1099 filings.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cThis Is A Tool That Makes It Possible\u201d\u00a0<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Brian raves \u201cThis is a tool that makes it possible,\u201d and proceeds to talk about all the awesome features that Tax1099 packs within, including but not limited to:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
