Year-end processing tips for Form 1099

We've compiled a list of tasks to follow and resources to use as you prepare for year-end 1099 form processing.

Filing by paper: Order necessary forms

Figure out the total number of 1099s that you'll need for your clients and then order the forms.
  • Print the 1099 Ordering Worksheet from the Print Reports screen.
  • We recommend that you order forms 1099 from Forms CS. We can't guarantee perfect alignment to other vendor's forms or to government preprinted forms.
    tip
    Contact Forms CS to find out if there are discounts being offered. They may offer early bird discounts.
  • We require red scannable forms. The IRS hasn't released specifications for black and white facsimile Copy A or 1096 forms. Therefore, we can't offer this print option.

Filing electronically

Information Returns Intake System (IRIS)
  • Go to the IRS IRIS webpage to learn more about filing 1099s through the IRIS system.
  • An IRIS Transmitter Control Code (TCC) isn't required if you plan to file electronically through Accounting CS.

Attend a refresher course

Sign up for a year-end seminar.

Update applications

Make sure you've installed the latest version of the application. If you're on Virtual Office or Software as a Service (SaaS), you don't need to do anything else. Otherwise, get all the latest updates so that you have access to this year's payroll tax forms.
