Before e-filing, businesses had few good options for filing 1099s, W-2s and ACA forms. Paper forms had to be ordered, filled out manually, mailed to recipients and submitted to the IRS or SSA — or handled through costly, often frustrating tax software.
efile4Biz changed all that. With a secure, cloud-based platform, you can now file your tax forms online in just a few clicks. The result? Faster processing, lower costs and fewer headaches — especially compared to paper or software-based filing.
Filing Taxes the Old Way
Processing 1099s, W-2s and other information returns in-house required:
- Buying pre-printed forms (in bulk, even when only a few were needed)
- Manually completing, printing and mailing each form
- Filling out summary forms like 1096 or W-3
- Managing delivery risks (lost mail exposes sensitive data)
- Storing physical copies for recordkeeping
If you used software, the challenges only multiplied:
- Purchasing licenses or subscriptions
- Installing or updating software across your network
- Dealing with alignment issues and printer jams
- Training staff to navigate the system
