Entering Issuer Information



Issuer (Filer) Information
A Filer, also known as an "Issuer," "Company," "Client," or "Payer," is the individual or organization that has made a payment and is responsible for submitting their 1099 forms to the IRS. Only the Filer can incur penalties, such as late filing fees.

Additionally, a TCC number is not required if the Filer submits their forms to the IRS using paper copies (specifically, the Federal Copy A, which must be pre-manufactured as "red-lined" IRS scanner-ready forms).

Adding Issuer (Filer) Information into 1099Express:
  • Click the 'FILER' button on the top left of the grid or click the 'Options' menu.

  • From the 'Options' menu select 'Filer (Company) Information'. (Filer information can be entered either before or after the payee data is typed or imported)

  • A 'Company/Filer' window will appear, fill out all required boxes in the 'Payer's ID No.' tab and the 'Names' tab.
    The Filer information will be saved upon entering the 'OK' button.

  • After all Filer and Payee information has been added, please save the file. If the Filer information is needed for a different file,
    select the 'Re-Populate' tab in the 'Company/Filer' window.
