How to choose

Which filing tasks does the software need to handle?

Start with the forms and steps you need: federal e-filing, state filing, recipient delivery, and corrections are separate features to compare.

Check the product details for the specific filing tasks you need before choosing.

How should I compare pricing and form limits?

Compare the pricing model, the starting paid price, and the form-volume limit together; a low starting price may not tell you what filing your volume will cost.

Check whether the product offers a free plan or a free trial. They are different ways to evaluate or use a service.

Can I import the data I already have?

Look for bulk data import if you need to bring in information from an existing file or system. Confirm that the product supports the way you plan to provide that data.

Where does the software need to run?

Check the product's platform details against the devices and systems you use. The category includes web, API, Windows, Android, iOS, and browser-extension options.

An API is a way for software to exchange information with another service; confirm whether the specific connection you need is available.

Does 1099 filing software include state filing?

State filing is a comparison feature, but availability depends on the product. Check its details for the states and filing support you need.

Some products offer a free plan or a free trial. Check the product's pricing details to see which applies and what it includes.
