The IRS significantly reduced the W-2 and 1099 e-file threshold for 2023, impacting most businesses. Make W-2, 1099 and 1095 filing less stressful for your business this year!

Our Top 5 Tips to Prepare for the January 31 Deadline:

1. Look for E-Filing in Your Software:

Electronic filing (referred to as e-file or paperless), allows you time savings and convenience. The most secure and reputable e-filing option is one that’s already available to you through your company’s software. Paperless filing is even easier when your software offers you a complete filing service that includes print, mail, and electronic delivery of recipient copies.

2. Complete E-Filing (Print & Mail Services)

Using a service that prints, mails, and electronically delivers recipient copies for you, can help you hit the January 31 ^st recipient deadline, as well as save you time and supply costs. Print and mail services make sending recipient copies especially simple for you. Your software may already provide a complete e-file tool with this service. No need to stuff envelopes or buy postage.

3. Easy State Filing

A paperless filing tool that’s through your software can help you meet all state requirements in a matter of a few clicks. Keeping up with state requirement changes and the various deadlines is a hassle. Complete e-file tools that are through your software work with state agencies to help correctly submit all your filing information.

4. Help From Filing Experts

5. Know IRS Requirement Changes

E-filing may now be mandatory for your business. The IRS officially lowered the W-2 and 1099 e-file threshold from 250 to 10 forms in Tax Year 2023 (to be filed in 2024). This regulation includes the total for all aggregated forms filed (W-2, 1099, 1095, etc.). Learn more here.
