Form 1099s Pdf: Fill & Download for Free

I’m pretty sure you can download the forms you need from the IRS. SEE: Forms and Publications (PDF)If you don’t have the time (and I know how that can be if you are super busy), then you can seek forms from:Your local office supply store like Staples or Office Depot. They have a section with the physical forms.There are a number of online companies that can provide this. SEE 1099: Printable and Fillable PDF TemplateTurboTax Home & Business and H&R Block “AtHome” Premium & Business can help you prepare W-2s and 1099s.Quick Books. I have used Quick Books for about 15 years and it has the ability to generate these forms.Good Luck!

So, it’s well into the 21st century, and a government agency that deals primarily in information is still requiring dead-tree submissions that have to be copied (by humans) and stored. Seems a little behind the times, no?Here’s the thing. Suppose you’re one of the most hated organizations in government. Are you going to provide a mailbox where anyone can send you anything, and you are going to open it on your computer?So electronic IRS submissions are going to be limited to the protocols that they define and provide. Standard tax returns, common informational returns, like 1099s and K-1s. You have to send it in the format they expect; not in a PDF or Word document.One day, they will hopefully allow a more general form submission portal that is both safe for them and easy for the taxpayer. This will take money and political will.

If you mean completed 1099 forms, the IRS does have copies of those probably at least as soon as you do. Privacy is a concern with making them available online, but they could allow you to print them using the same identity verification that is used for e-filing, but they don’t.For me, the real question is why - after verification of your identity and approval by any spouse with identity verification - you can’t you download a 1040 with all of your w-2 and 1099 information already filled in in an spreadsheet form that allows you to change any incorrect information and add any additional information and does all the calculations for you. (Or a fillable PDF that would leave the calculations up to you.) This would actually be incredibly easy. There’s a guy who does a 1040 form as an Excel spreadsheet every year, basically for fun, but he doesn’t have access to all the data on your w-2s and 1040s. The IRS does and could give you basically his spreadsheet with many numbers filled in for you to add to or correct.And the answer to why the IRS doesn’t do this is that Intuit (TurboTax) and to a lesser extent H&R Block spend a lot of money on lobbying, fake grassroots letters, and campaign contributions to congresspeople to make sure that the IRS is not allowed to make completing your taxes easy.You’d still need to figure out for yourself any additional income, credits for foreign taxes paid, and some other credits and deductions, but for most of us, once you have the w-2s and 1099s entered, the tax form is just a tedious exercise at following instructions and doing arithmetic.Intuit and tax preparers would lose almost all of their business.So, all the hours you waste filing our forms or working on tax software and the price you pay for that software is a tax imposed for the benefit of these companies. I think of it as the TurboTax tax.
