Re: [taxchat] Re: ATX W-2 & 1099 filing software

I've used a program called TFP for printing W-2s, W-3s, 1099s, and 1096s, but it doesn't e-file them.  It's cheap, about $25, and does a very good job.  It's available through Tenenz's catalog.  Also stores employer and employee data and carries it over year to year, like names, EINs, SSNs, and addresses.  That's the only reason I haven't used the SSA's version.  As of last year, they told us that no info carried over, so we'll have to retype all employer and employee names, EINs, SSNs and addresses every year.  I wouldn't mind doing it the first time, but I don't want to do that every year....too time consuming.

Dear Cris,
I was in a meeting recently with SSA speaker that said you can use
the SSA online program for more than 20 employees by doing the report
by 20's - that is, enter 20 W-2's, send it, then enter 20 more for
the same employer.
It may not be reasonable for larger groups but is a consideration.
