Creating a Company/Filer/Payer is one of the most fundamental steps in the E-File Magic Software.  If you do not complete this section the software will not let you go to the next step of adding recipient data.  This section of the software is where you put the company’s information that is sending the 1099 to the recipient.  I suggest watching the video on how to complete this step.  It’s very entertaining!  Once you have watched the video, if you would like to download our 1099 software please do so!

Registering your E-File Magic software is a very important step in our 1099 Software process.  Make sure you add all the fields in correctly with a current phone number and email address.  If anyone needs to contact you from E-File Magic, we will use your registration details information for contacting.  Please check out this video, which is short and sweet about Registering E-File Magic.

There are many deadlines when it comes to taxes.  And most of these deadlines are etched in our brain forever; like April 15th is usually the day to file taxes and the 4th Thursday in November is always Thanksgiving (hey, I do a lot of work on Thanksgiving, I consider it a deadline).  Anyways, here is another deadline for you, E-File Magic is requesting that all transmittal for our print and mail service be received by January 23rd, 2012 so we can get all forms out by the IRS deadline of January 31st.  If you miss the deadline of January 23rd and would still like to use our service, you may, and we will try to get all mailings out but, we cannot guarantee that you mailings will be sent out by the 31st.

So download our 1099 software today and get to work!  January 23rd is right around the corner!

This morning, when I looked at the weather report it said that there was a 100% chance of rain.  So the odds are pretty good that it will be pretty wet in the Pacific Northwest today.  And thanks to new laws established by the IRS, the odds are greater that you will receive a 1099-DIV this year.

In general a 1099-DIV needs to be filed for each person; you have paid dividends and other distributions on stock of $10 or more, you have withheld and paid foreign tax on dividends and other distributions on stock, you have withheld any federal income tax on dividends under the backup withholding rules, or you have paid $600 or more as part of a liquidation.

It looks like more people will be receiving form 1099-DIV this year.  The IRS is now requiring that Exempt-interest dividends from a mutual fund or other regulated investment company be reported on Form 1099-DIV instead of traditionally where it has been reported – Form 1099-INT.
