1099-Etc

The pricing strategy for 1099-Etc is built on a modular 'ala carte' system, ensuring that customers only pay for the specific functionality their business requires. Every installation begins with the mandatory W-2/1099 Forms Filer, which acts as the core engine for the software. From this foundation, users can select from seven optional add-on modules, such as AMS Payroll for live check processing or E-File Direct for bulk electronic submissions. This annual license model is particularly cost-effective for firms with high volume, as many of the fees are flat rates regardless of the number of forms filed. While the initial core module is priced around $84, a comprehensive suite including payroll and laser form generation typically totals between $300 and $400 per year. This transparent, one-time annual payment contrasts sharply with monthly subscription models, providing predictable budgeting for accounting firms and small businesses alike.
