Trusted since 1996.
For nearly three decades, businesses and tax professionals have relied on 1099Express to file information returns accurately, on time, and without the headache.
Information reporting, made effortless.
1099Express was founded in 1996 with a simple goal: take the pain out of IRS information reporting. Back then, filing meant pre-printed forms, red-ink originals, and hours of manual data entry. We built software to change that.
Today we provide filing for the full 1099, W-2, 1042-S, and ACA 1095 series — with direct IRS and SSA e-Filing, plain-paper printing, and a full-service Service Bureau for businesses that would rather hand it off entirely.
Through every IRS rule change and new e-File mandate, one thing hasn’t changed: real, U.S.-based experts who pick up the phone and know information reporting inside and out.

The original letter from the IRS Martinsburg Computing Center, November 29, 1988.
It started with a letter from the IRS.
On November 29, 1988, the IRS Martinsburg Computing Center authorized Bob Miner’s company, R. C. Miner, Inc. of Corpus Christi, Texas, to file information returns on magnetic media — assigning Transmitter Control Code 34C37.
That first season, the returns went to the IRS on a single 5¼-inch diskette, prepared on an IBM PC/XT with self-programmed software. Decades of IRS rule changes later — from magnetic media to FIRE to IRIS — we’re still doing the same thing: writing our own software and filing directly with the IRS.
