I hope Thanksgiving 2016 was the best one yet for you and your family. The Christy family had a wonderful holiday with family and friends. Of course, the holiday included marathon shopping on Black Friday—always a fun day for me to hang with my gal pals and get a jump on Christmas, which is now less than 3 weeks away!
As it does every year, the holiday season seems to take on a life of its own, and often distracts us from our business activities—like preparing for year-end and….taxes. If you’re like me, you’re always looking for ways to get through both with as little stress as possible, right? So to help you in that search, I have a great tool to share with you this month. It’s called Track 1099, but you can call it an early Christmas gift because if your business requires you to send out 1099’s to vendors and subcontractors, this tool will help you do it quickly and efficiently, reducing some of that holiday/tax time stress. Exactly what we all need!
And as my bonus gift to you, I’m including links to two previous blogs on cool tools that can also help to simplify your business activities and recordkeeping. If you’re not already using them, you might want to give them both a try and make Tax Time 2017 a little less stressful! Enjoy!

The Technology Aspirin for That Tax Time Headache
If you use the services of subcontractors and vendors in your business, you may be required to send them 1099-MISC forms or other documentation for their services. How much time do you spend every year, preparing these forms manually or using downloadable forms, and then snail mailing them to each recipient? Depending on the number of forms you prepare, this can be very time-consuming! Well, here’s a surprise gift for you that you’ll love when you go to do your taxes! Track 1099 simplifies this entire process for you, and provides you with a record of every form sent. How’s that for a great gift?!
Track 1099 is an IRS e-filing tool that allows you to prepare and securely e-send any of the 1099 forms, as well as a variety of other required tax forms, such as W-2s, W-4s, W-8BENs, W-9s, and many others. A few of the great features offered by Track 1099:
- Approved by the IRS and SSA
- Outstanding security
- Guaranteed accuracy
- Incremental e-filing with no extra fee
- Free e-corrections
- Participate in the Combined State/Fed program for 1099s
- Prior year 1099-series e-filing supported
- Delivery by email or USPS
- Designed for tax pros and teams
- Integrates with QB and QBO, Xero, Bill.com, and other programs
Pricing for the Track 1099 service is dependent on the number of forms you need to send. The more you send, the lower the cost per form. It’s extremely affordable, and considering the time you or your accountant typically spends handling this task manually, not to mention the many other benefits offered by Track 1099, I think you will agree that it’s well worth it.
