What's New for 2009?
All forms and software have been updated to meet the IRS and SSA
paper filing requirements and electronic filing requirements for
2009. If you are a returning customer, the data you entered last year
will be transferred automatically into the 2009 version from the 2008 version.
EASITax has combined all of its capabilities
into a single download. Just
download the EASITax free trial and
then order passwords to remove the word 'sample' from your
printed output, enable electronic filing, or activate the multi-user
workstation capabilities of EASITax. No additional downloads are
required.
EASITax comes with complete local and

EASITax provides everything
needed for a single workstation to print W2, 1099-Misc, 1099-Div,
1099-Int, 1099-R forms along with W3 and 1096 transmittal forms.
Additional forms such as 1098, 1099-C, and 1099-S can be added to EASITax for
$49.95 each. New users can order
EASITax for
only $89.95. Users with EASITax 2008 installed on their
computer can order the
EASITax upgrade for
only $69.95.
Employers submitting more than 250 forms MUST
file electronically. One click in EASITax will activate the EFile Wizard
to create the data files needed for compliance
with federal electronic filing requiirements. EASITax with
EFile provides all the capabilities of EASITax plus Electronic filing.
New users can save if they order the
EASITax with EFile Bundle for
only $189.95 instead of buying EASITax and later choosing to order the
upgrade EASITax to EFile for
an additional $99.95.
Large jobs may require
additional people to help enter data without requiring that the
workstation be able to print forms or generate electronic submission
files.
EASITax for Data Entry provides a
secure tool that allows extra people to help with the task of data
entry while limiting their exposure to sensitive information.
Printing, EFile, and data export functions are disabled. This
product sells for $59.95 per workstation. Workstations can be configured
to share a single network data file or to work in standalone mode for out
of the office data entry on a laptop or home PC. A single file
holds all of the EASITax data so you can easily transport it to and from your
other computers.
W2 filing requirements (click
to see our entire line of W2 forms and envelopes)
The Social Security Administration (SSA) requires that all employers record the
wages paid and taxes deducted for each employee in a government approved
formatted W2 Wage and Tax Statement form. All employers MUST produce
printed output of Copy B - Employee Federal Copy, Copy C - Employee File Copy,
and Copy D - Employer File Copy. Employers with less than 250 employees
can either print Copy A - Federal Filing copies or they can use electronic
filing to submit the Federal Copy. Printed copies must be submitted to
the federal government by March 1, 2010 along with a W3 Transmittal Summary
form which itemizes the W2 forms being submitted (EASITax totals and fills
this form automatically). Electronic filers have until March 31, 2010 to
submit their electronic files and do not have to produce a printed W3
Transmittal Summary form.
Employers in all states except the ones listed below must also produce
Copy 1 - Employer State/City copy and Copy 2 - Employee
State/City copy in printed format.
Alaska, Florida, New Hampshire, Nevada, South
Dakota, Tenessee, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming DO NOT have to produce state
employer and employee copies.
EASITax is approved each year by the SSA to
print these government forms onto white paper or preprinted forms.
Employers who decide to print onto white paper should be aware of the fact that
the forms print 2 to a page. The official IRS Publication 1220
states that "Forms provided to employees must have perforations to
separate the forms and each form must be provided with instructions.
Scissors are not acceptable as a way to separate the forms for
distribution". This requirement is because they use scanners to process
the forms when they arrive. As a result, Copy A and W3 must be submitted
according to these guidelines or provided on the government approved form which
is printed in red magnetic ink.
1099 and 1098 filing requirements (click
to see our most popular 1099 forms and envelopes)
Forms 1099 and 1098 are used to report
money paid to non-employees that is in excess of $600 during the tax calendar
year. There are dozens of different formats for recording this
information depending on the reason that the money was paid out.
Businesses are required to provide these forms to recipients no later than
February 1, 2010 and to file paper copies with the federal government along
with a 1096 Transmittal Summary form by March 1, 2010 unless they choose
to file electronically on or before March 31, 2010. Businesses that
produce more than 250 forms are required to file electronically. EASITax
produces copies for the Recipient on plain paper, however,
IRS Publication 1120 states that "Copy A and form 1096 can NOT be
reproduced on white paper, they must be printed on the goverment approved (red
ink) copy unless they are filing electronically. In addition to the Copy
B and Copy C forms that are required by all businesses who are filing 1099 or
1098 forms, businesses NOT listed below also have to produce Copy D or 1
- Payer State/Local copy and Copy 2 - Recipient State/Local copy
in printed format.
The following states DO NOT have to produce State payer and recipient copies;
Alaska, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Michigan,
Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, Ohio, Rhode Island,
South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia, and
Wyoming.
