How to Use Tax1099

There are two versions of software that accountants like to use to create 1099s Tax1099 and Track1099.

I like to use online software because I find it be cheaper and easier than trying to get the forms, fill them out, mail them, etc.

    1. Hi Joseph,
      Form 1098 is a Mortgage Interest Statement and has nothing to do with filing 1099s. Gentle Frog does not provide tax advice. I suggest you read through the IRS.gov information on 1099s if you’re using Tax1099 you can contact them with any questions you have.
