Upload 1099 Data To SherWare
This utility will upload your 1099 information to SherWare in order for it to be electronically transmitted to the IRS. This service is provided by SherWare for a fee.
You should contact SherWare support before doing this to discuss the cost and to sign up for this service.
If you would like to file your 1099s electronically but do not have a TCC# or just don't want to mess with it then SherWare can file your 1099s for you. You will still have to send the printed copies to your owners (either the pre-printed kind, or the 1099 MISC replacement form from our software), but we'd take care of filing the data with the IRS for you. The filing deadline for the electronic filing is the end of March, so whenever you get your 1099 file finalized, we'd just need to get a copy of your data via this utility prior to March 15.
Signing up for this service - If you would like to take advantage of this service then simply notify SherWare support of your intention to do so. You can do this with an email or phone call. We will then add you to our list of those to file.
Building the 1099s - You will still need to create the 1099 file and verify that the 1099s are what you want them to be. We will not audit the numbers, we will just submit the numbers that you provide us.
Sending us your 1099 information - Once you've gotten your 1099 file the way you want it, you can send it to us under the Reports/1099 Processing then "Upload 1099 Data to SherWare". This will only send us the information we need to submit the 1099s for you. You do not have to create the electronic file if we are submitting for you.
Email us Once your 1099 file is uploaded so that we know it was sent along with the name of the company that was sent.
When we receive the 1099 data we will recognize it by the company name that was open in the software when it was sent. If the name of the open company is different then the name we know you by, or if we are filing multiple companies for you, then be sure to let us know what companies have been uploaded.
Deadline - Your data must be sent to us by March 15th in order for us to submit the file for you. The filing deadline is March 31, but we'd be doing our filing about a week prior to that.
Billing - We will bill you for the service after the 1099s have been submitted successfully.
Have you filed electronically before? - If you have previously filed with your own TCC number, and are now having SherWare file your data, please contact the IRS to cancel your existing TCC number. A return is expected each year for every assigned TCC number, so unless you notify them that you will no longer need that number, you may receive a message from the IRS later in the year warning that a return has not been filed.
