Wagefiling.com saved the day for me: On Thursday Jan 28th, I needed to do two 1099 forms. Just two, but the commotion it caused was on a level of someone needing to do 1500 of them because I realized mid-afternoon that the IRS does not allow this form to be downloaded (why, IRS... WHY?!) and the envelope full of them was one of the many that I tossed out when I cleaned my new office over the summer (predecessor was obviously a paper lover because there is more paper in my office than in a paper factory).
I looked online to see what I could find, and found the first two): wagefiling.com and a competitor (formswift.com but do not use them... complicated website that actually did not work).
For just a few dollars, I got the two forms I needed, it was incredibly easy to fill out the forms, I received a confirmation right away as well as the link to print out what I needed for the two recipients. Last week, an email arrived saying that they had filed our information with the IRS, and I can stop thinking about this until next year. Their website shows other payroll/year-end type things, so go with these folks.
And if you have one of the awesome red buttons on your desk (sold at Staples years ago) that you push and it says "that was easy", you will be pressing away. read more
