1099, W-2 and ACA Filing Deadlines to IRS and SSA

Throughout the year

Handle the 1099 legwork in advance. Let efile4Biz Help!

Avoid the first-of-the-year rush with 1099 prep work. Instead, have every independent contractor, freelancer, consultant and sole proprietor fill out a Form W-9, Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification, as he/she provides services. The W-9 captures the recipient’s legal name, address and Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN), which are necessary to complete the 1099. Annually send your independent contractors a W-9 to capture any changes they might have: name, address, etc. Keeping this information up-to-date helps prevent mistakes that can lead to penalties. We offer a W-9 Program to help you update the information annually. Learn more.

Another way to avoid errors is to perform TIN Matching ($1/record) via efile4Biz. This ensures that what you provide matches the IRS/SSA records. Learn more.

By November of applicable tax year

Get a head start — new 1099 forms and early e-filing are available.

Rather than wait until January, begin filing your forms in November when the 1099 forms are released on efile4Biz. As long as an independent contractor has completed all work for the calendar year and you have all the required information, you can get started.
