Tax1099 Updates

Table of Contents

We have updates to Tax1099 that we are excited to share with you. These changes are designed to streamline and enhance what our users already do to file information for payers and their recipients. 

Updates to Tax1099 v2.78; v2.79

Enterprise Admins Can Grant Review/Approve Privileges to Data Entry Users

Enterprise users have more control over member user rights than ever before! Our latest update allows Admins to assign review and approve form privileges to their Data Entry Users. Here’s our guide to granting access.

Opt-Out of Unwanted Email Updates

Want to prevent endless update emails from us? All users can now opt-out of automated emails related to status updates on form submissions, TIN checks, and other processes. Find out how to do this here.

Decide When Your Forms Are Submitted To the IRS

Our Scheduled Date feature has been upgraded for our Enterprise users. Beginning with the 2023 tax season, those with access can now select their own schedule date for IRS submission related to certain form types (including W2s and 1099-NEC). Our Knowledge Base provides step-by-step guidance on this process.

Enterprise Admins Can Now Assign GroupIDs to Member Users

Admins in Enterprise can now assign GroupIDs to Member Users; making it easier to task payers and clients to a group of users instead of individually assigning them. More information on this process can be found here.

Remove API Access

Did you select API Access in error when signing up or exploring Tax1099? Users can now remove this feature without reaching out to support or clicking multiple pages. Go to Dashboard > API >

API Hub and under “Remove API Access” select “Disable API Key”.

Detailed Information on State Filing Guidelines

When entering state ID information, users now get a pop-up with a more detailed explanation of guidelines and charges related to state filing. Here is a preview:
