What 1042-S Pro is
1042-S Pro is Windows software for preparing, printing, correcting, and electronically filing 1042-S tax forms. It supports 1042-S, 1042-S C, and 1042-T forms, with business rules and IRS validations to help complete filings. Records can be imported from mapped Excel, delimited, CSV, or TAB files. Federal 1042-S e-filing uses the Sovos Service Bureau, which converts data to IRIS XML and transmits it under 1099 Pro’s TCC. The software prints recipient Copies B, C, D, E, and instructions, offers print-and-mail services, and creates printed or electronic corrections with one-part and two-part correction identification. Its eFile Viewer reads IRS Publication 1187 files by record type, field location, or field name and can convert them to Excel. Security includes user or group profiles and audit trails. It requires Windows 11 or Windows Server 2016 or later. One-time plans cost 1119.00 USD, 1749.00 USD, or 2399.00 USD, depending on users.
