Good afternoon,

So, I have a new client who needs three simple 1099 forms to complete asap, along with Form 1096.

I've pulled the Instructions but thought I would see if there was any good advice from the community for last minute manual 1099/1096 creation.

Thank you!!

I order forms free from IRS every year, none of my clients have more than 5 total forms that need to be filed, so I send them by paper.

Im not sure my patience and sanity will allow another login and password and hassling with more technology before I finally snap, I can whip them out on paper with my current accounting program (especially if they had one the prior year, all the info is saved I just update the dollar amount) just as quick if not quicker than I could log in and file them online.

For less than $5 each, I would use a third party service.

Track1099 and TaxBandits are probably the two most popular services, but there are there several other options including Tax1099, efile4biz, efilemyforms and others.

@Just-Lisa-Now- 👍 well said. They dropped the threshold from 250 to 10 in just one year. So don't be surprised if they reduce it down to zero, and then you will have to do their work for them and e-file everything. Isn't it great doing other people's work for them and not getting paid?

The F.1099, plus the F.1096 transmittal has to be done on the 'red' copies. So a trip to the stationary store may be in order.
