What BoomTax is
BoomTax provides online e-filing for 1099, W-2, and ACA forms. Users can import tax data, send recipient copies by mail or electronic delivery, and file with the IRS, SSA, and state agencies. Before filing, the service can validate information, match TINs against IRS records, verify EINs, and flag errors. Supported ACA forms include 1094-B/1095-B and 1094-C/1095-C. Data can be uploaded with Excel templates or brought in through listed accounting and payroll integrations, including QuickBooks Online, Xero, ADP, Workday, and others. Its REST API supports JSON submissions, pre-submission checks, status tracking, and PDF generation for recipient copies. BoomTax says it is SOC 2 Type II certified and encrypts data in transit and at rest using 256-bit encryption. Its hands-off e-filing workflow does not require customers to have their own IRS/SSA account or TCC. Recipient options include print-and-mail, e-delivery with consent collection, and self-service PDF printing. Users can create an account and import data for free; payment is required to e-file, download, or print forms.
