What is Tax1099?
Founded in 2010 and headquartered in Fayetteville, Arkansas, Tax1099 is a Zenwork tax-filing platform. It supports federal, state, and SSA filing, imports, TIN matching, recipient delivery, and workflow controls.
Tax1099 is a cloud-based filing service that takes businesses from data import through validation, submission, and recipient distribution. Users can enter forms manually or import CSV, Excel, PDF, and accounting-system data, then file with the IRS, participating states, and SSA. The workflow includes scheduling, corrections, rejected-form resubmission, USPS address validation, downloadable payer and recipient copies, and four-year storage with audit trails.
Coverage spans more than 40 tax forms, including 1099, W-2, 94x, ACA, 1042, 1095, 1098, 5498, and selected 480 forms. TIN matching, W-9 and W-8 solicitation, print and mail, IRS-compliant eDelivery, notices, and AI assistance extend the platform beyond basic submission. Essential includes core filing, but team administration, API access, workflow management, user controls, and notice management require higher plans.
Tax1099 serves small businesses, seasonal filers, bookkeepers, CPA firms, payroll teams, and larger organizations managing multiple payers or high filing volumes. Essential has no annual subscription but charges per form, starting at $2.99 for the first 20 forms on selected form types; rates can fall to $0.72 at higher volumes. Teams costs $249 annually and Scale costs $349 annually, with add-ons priced separately.
