Cons Online Chat was relatively useless, but ultimately I figured out everything I needed to do as the software is pretty user friendly. Switched from [Sovos](https://www.capterra.com/p/163421/Sovos-Sales-Tax/) Better price for similar features, overall value Review Source CO Connie O.

It's a perfect solution and a win win in the software marketplace. Pros Tax1099 makes it easy to track status, saves recipients year over year, copies recipients to other payers (we have a lot of payers that use the same vendors) and follow up. The TIN Match is a piece of mind when vendors aren't helpful and we are up against deadlines in the midst of daily chaos that is a private equity family office management company. The pay as you go is perfect since we never know how many forms we'll need to process each year. The ability to integrate, import and add user access and workflow is a plus. Cons Some of the navigation is cumbersome when it comes to copying vendors. As stated we have multiple payers that use the same vendors. In order to update an address we have to go to each vendor file in each payer file. This year it's also harder to find a vendor to copy when we know we've used that vendor but can't recall which payer it's under. There is no "select all" when you have to choose a payer or manage recipients. Other than that little time consuming quirk, its an fabulous program to manage our 1099 process.

QuickBooks does not allow for our unique mappings and vendor demographics and we chose to file all our 1099s for all our companies in one software instead of in separate accounting systems.

Operations Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Tax1099 - Probably the worst, buggiest, most frustrating, and financially damaging company I've ever worked with" December 17, 2024 1.0 IMPORTANT - Please read the ## SERIOUS FINANCIAL PROBLEMS ## at the bottom as that is the most important thing. ------------- I've been using tax1099 for nearly 10 years now and I've hated every minute of it. I tried finding a replacement years ago but was not able to find viable replacements that could do everything we needed in one place at a reasonable price. However, that was a terrible mistake because it's ended up costing me A LOT MORE MONEY sticking with tax1099. Here are a few highlights of the problems I've had with Tax1099: ------------------------ ## REMARKABLY BUGGY ## Nearly every day I use it I see a new bug or issue. I have to spend so much time checking and double checking everything it does. Here are a few of the current bugs: \* CAN'T LOGIN >> I work late at night and for the last 3 weeks, I've been unable to login in the middle of the night. I just get redirected to the homepage \* ADDRESS VALIDATION BUG >> Address validation wasn't working at all, just hangs. It was like this for months. They finally fixed it and now if I do an address validation at the same time while creating a new recipient record, it will move the Address line info to Ste/Apt/Bld line. I have to manually fix it each time. \* TIN MATCHING DOESN'T WORK >> "Real-time" TIN match requests frequently just hang and never return a result. I have to wait 1-2 days for the results to appear but only after receiving dozens of emails saying my TIN match results for BLANK are ready. \* NOBODY ON LIVE CHAT SUPPORT >> Every time the real-time TIN match fails, I try contacting their live chat support to ask for help and to ask for a refund (because realtime TIN match costs $1/each vs. the $0.37 each for standard 1 day TIN matching) but not once in the last 3 months has anyone ever actually been on live chat to help, only the half-baked useless AI chatbot that keeps suggesting I read their support articles on "What is a W9?" \* TIN MATCH SEARCH DOESN'T WORK >> There is an option to let you view the results of tin matches by date range. This wasn't working for weeks but looks like they just fixed it.....yippee ------------------------ ## FRUSTRATING FORMS ## \* SSN/EIN FIELDS >> Their input fields for entering in info for new recipients is the worst I've ever seen in my entire 40 years of life. If you click on the SSN/EIN field, it puts the mouse where you clicked which could be at the 4th or 5th number. If you type from there, you run out of space. Every time you need to fill it out, you have to select the field then use your mouse to clicked over to the left until you are at the start. It's maddening when working with many records. \* ZIP CODE >> Same problem as EIN/SSN \* PHONE NUMBER >> This one is different. When you click on the field, it starts at the beginning but for some reason, the phone number field doesn't allow you to paste in a phone number. You have to manually type it out. All other forms let you paste in info. ------------------------ ## OTHER COMMON ISSUES ## Every year in January the site is notoriously unreliable. They know every year people file 1099s in January but in the last 10+ years I've been using them, like clockwork their site frequently crashes or stops responding in January, especially the last 2 weeks of January. ------------------------ ## SERIOUS FINANCIAL PROBLEMS - $70K IRS CIVIL PENALTY ## Back in 2015 while uploading our records for 1099 generation, their site crashed. Didn't think much of it because it happened all the time. This time it was down for 2 days. After it came back online, I uploaded again and submitted the 1099 report. 5 years later, I got a letter for the IRS telling them I owed them nearly $70,000 in penalties for invalid 1099s that failed TIN matching. That was strange because every single record we add goes through TIN matching when we add them. Well turns out when their site crashed, they must have restored it from a backup or something and all of our 2800 recipient records got corrupted with Business Name being put as First name, First name becoming Last name, Last name becoming business name. As a result, every single 1099 we had issued over the following 5 years failed TIN. We've been battling this with the IRS for 4 years now trying to work this out with the IRS. Since we still have all of the original records, we've been arguing to please let us resubmit and waive fees. Thanks to a recent Tax1099 screw up again, A REALLY BIG ONE with the Social Security Administration, we were just told that the IRS may agree finally to waive fees. See below for SSA story. Even if they waive the penalties, we are still nearly $35,000 in the hole in legal fees so far. ## SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION PROBLEM ## Out of space for review so short of it is W2s submitted for our employees in 2023 were messed up, SSA sent us a letter, Tax1099 acknowledged the problem, SSA just sent new letter saying they no longer accept Tax1099 W2 submission! haha. WOW!!! Pros It's able to handle W9 requests and 1099 generation, submission and distribution all in one platform Cons It's the most unreliable and buggy system I've ever used and only seems to be getting worse.

Tried email several times, asked AI several times and now it's been a week and I cannot solve the issue. That puts my situation in a bind. Pros Easy to fill out the w-2s easy usage software but what system won't let me submit. Everything is there and everything is correct but no submit they took my money though! Cons Unable to submit an absolutely no help on email or AI assistance now I'm behind or late it will not let me submit Review Source Response from ZENWORK February 20, 2026 Thank you for sharing your feedback . If a submission can’t be completed, it’s typically due to missing information, validation checks, or a compliance-related flag. Our support team would be happy to take a closer look and help resolve this for you. Please reach out through your account or email us at support@tax1099.com with the submission details.

Pros Ease of use, low prices and the fact you'll mail the forms to clients for me. Cons Would like it to be somewhat easier to download a PDF copy of 1099's that included the 1096. Switched from [W2 Mate](https://www.capterra.com/p/212730/W2-Mate/) I didn't really switch. I use W2 Mate to get all my forms in order and a printed copy made. I then use those forms to enter into your program. Review Source BY Brenda Y. Contract Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy 1099‘s " January 19, 2024 5.0 Every year Tax1099 has reliably allowed me to quickly provide and file my year end tax forms to subcontractors. The program hasn’t changed much over the years which I LOVE because why complicate things?? Stress free tax filing. Can’t beat that. Pros I love how easy it is to enter data and create forms. I’ve been using Tax1099 for at least 8 years now. I like that my prior year vendors are saved, so less data entry. Best of all, I can email or have Tax1099 mail the forms by postal mail to 1099 recipients for a very small and reasonable fee. If you have a small business you cannot get better than this. So easy to use. Not one of those apps that makes you want to pull your hair out. Simple, reliable and uncomplicated - and very reasonably priced. Cons I honestly cannot think of a con. This is my least frustrating task of many. Alternatives considered [QuickBooks Desktop](https://www.capterra.com/p/212058/QuickBooks-Desktop-Pro/) Reason for choosing Tax1099.com Decided to stick with what has been working. I resist change and this program works fine for me. Switched from [QuickBooks Desktop](https://www.capterra.com/p/212058/QuickBooks-Desktop-Pro/) This was easier, faster and less expense.

The easiest and least expensive option to provide my bookkeeping clients for processing their 1099's every year. Pros The ease in which I can sync this product to the backend of Quickbooks Online. Cons Not having an option to give my clients their own login to access their reports. Switched from [QuickBooks Online](https://www.capterra.com/p/190778/QuickBooks-Online/) This is hands down less expensive than Quickbooks option. Review Source TM Thomas M. Owner Accounting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Value for Easy Automation" December 11, 2023 5.0 Overall I have had a great experience with Tax1099. They offer a complete service that is semi-automated and the pricing is affordable for small or large companies Pros I love the tiered pricing and the ability to upload 1099s information from an Excel template. This helps me save money by only paying for what I need and get the job done quickly by exporting from my accounting software into Excel then uploading to Tax1099 Cons It is a bit difficult to navigate and find forms after you have filed them, but this is a minor inconvenience considering the value you receive. Alternatives considered [TaxAct Professional](https://www.capterra.com/p/230242/TaxAct-Professional/)[QuickBooks Online](https://www.capterra.com/p/190778/QuickBooks-Online/) Reason for choosing Tax1099.com The main reason for choosing Tax1099 was the price with no minimum amount of filings. Other providers charge you the same price if you are filing 1 or 100 1099s. Tax1099 offers flexibility and affordability. And its easy to use. Review Source Gabriel A. President/CEO Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Absolutely the worst thing I've ever used" January 31, 2019 2.0 Year after year, I use them because I can't find an alternative. However, every year it's an incredible fail how they manage to be consistently as bad and buggy, but DIFFERENT! It's like they try to fix stuff throughout the year but each thing they fix or add, something else breaks are starts acting strange. Here is a review from last year I posted on their Facebook that shows the problems I had with them at that time: ------------------------------- Absolute failure. Site was crashing, nobody responding to chat, and their toll free number instantly goes to a message that says "Sorry, this mail box is full, Good bye". Maybe if you just need to submit a few 1099s, they are ok. If you need to manage records and use the system to handle W9s and mass import data, it's abissmal. Seriously poor execution from start to finish. TAX1099, 2 steps to improve your service: 1) Hire more support staff and answer the phones, particulary during the busy time of year. You are guys knew this was coming, this is the name of your company! 1099! Prepare for it! 2) Clean up your service. There are so many bugs, basic features that are missing, and existing features that have been so poorly implemented, they are useless. Pros It's one of the only companies I've found that allow you to bulk manage online W9 requests and then later submit 1099 via spreadsheet imports Cons It's just awful. It barely works. There are so many bugs it's unreal, like, completely and utterly unreal how bad their site is. A lot of stuff doesn't work and if it does, it doesn't work right at all. They do not provide any support around tax season. Either they just don't bother and stop looking at complaints or they just can't handle the workload. Also, this month they removed their live chat feature. I guess they just can't handle it. I just submitted 300 forms to submit for 1099s. Everything was fine until the very last step where they ask you to select all the forms you want to submit. They broke my submission into 3 pages without an option to show all forms on one page. So I just selected all of the forms on the first page and submitted. Now I can't go back and submit the remaining ones - It's gone. Plus, I have no idea which were actually submitted. And support has gone on vacation. Review Source TB Tori B. Owner Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great System For 1099's" January 19, 2024 5.0 Its been great experience. I have refereed this site to several clients who do their own year-end filings. Pros I like how easy the system is to use for all sorts of tax filings. I mostly use it for 1099s for my clients but its really nice to have other options. Cons Sometimes the link between QuickBooks and 1099.com does not work, so we have to hand type in the information for each filing.

Senior Manager Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Love Tax1099" January 19, 2024 5.0 We have had a very positive experience other then the times it would just freeze or spin which I am guessing is due to the amount use it gets during 1099 filing season. Pros We bring on new staff every year and it never takes long for them to jump in and learn it since it is very user friendly Cons I have to say the electronic consent from all the vendors has not worked out well for us. We used to do everything electronic but now can't because no one in sending back the consent forms.

Pros It works, the forms are emailed or mailed and sent to IRS without fail Cons I really hate the pop ups, they changed the payment area and you have to select the payment, the address, etc every single time which is very annoying when you have a practice with 20+ clients and need to submit some of these separately.
