System Requirements

1099 Express is a stand-alone 1099 program which creates laser forms, performs e-Filing to the IRS, and provides many other features. It requires Microsoft 32 bit Windows, Version 95 or later.

However, in order to produce paperless filing or create PDF files, the program requires Windows 7 and later versions.

1099 Express will not run under Unix, Linux, Macintosh, or Apple, unless they are running some type of Windows Emulation software, or have a "Windows Mode".

1099 Express creates its own data files, which are text files ending with the extension .src.

Although 1099 Express resembles Excel, opens and saves files like Excel, imports by Copy and Paste from Excel, it is not part of Excel and does not require Excel to be installed. 1099 Express does require that Microsoft Internet Explorer be installed for the Help Manual, for automatic program activation, and other features.

1099 Express, is a very small, tightly written, integrated package. The download is under 2 megabytes, and includes all 1097, 1098, 1099 and 5498 series forms. It all so includes forms 1096, 3921, 3922, 8935, and 1099-K, and W-2G. This is EVERY form that can be e-Filed at the IRS FIRE site. The program requires under 3 megabytes of disk space on the user's workstation. When uninstalled, all disk space is returned.
