What 1099 Express is

1099 Express provides software and services for preparing and filing information returns, including 1099, W-2, 1042-S, and ACA 1095 forms. The 1099 product supports original and corrected returns for current and prior years, imports recipient information from Excel, and can print on plain paper; Print & Mail is also available. The company says it files directly to IRS IRIS using its own IRS-issued TCC, so customers do not need their own TCC. It states that it is SOC 2 Type II and PCI DSS compliant, and that traffic is protected with TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 while stored data is encrypted at rest. Its stated retention policy keeps customer-uploaded data and filed IRS or SSA XML files for up to four years. A free functional demo is available to explore, with a license purchased when ready to file. Listed one-user licenses are one-time purchases: W-2 Express costs $199, paid once, 1099Express costs $199, paid once, 1042-S Express costs $348, paid once, and 1095 Express costs $399, paid once.
