ILLMAS Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 First of all, Happy Year to all!!! I know many accountants/tax preparers are efiling their clients 941's, W-3, W-2, 1096 and 1099 etc.... I haven't efiled any of these types of return before, I usually prepare paper returns, this year I would like to start doing so. What are the pros and cons of efiling payroll forms and do I need start efiling. I have have a EFIN already, since I efile tax return using ATX, but I also use quickbooks and just recently Medillin, I really don't mind using ATX if it can do it all. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imjulier Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 941's, W-3, W-2, 1096 and 1099 MAS- 1096 and 1099 just e-file through ATX like any return...no need to do anything additional. W-2 and W-3 - look for the ATX payroll reporting guide on their website. It gives a good description. I think you need to register with the SSA to be able to upload W-2s. E-file is not provided by ATX as its through the SSA, not IRS. 94X - need to determine if you want to be an agent or get 10 digit PINs for your clients. Look this up on ATX as well. Hope this helps, Julie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion EA Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 If you use QB, you can efile all payroll forms via QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILLMAS Posted January 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Thanks, I will look into QB then. Another question, would there a problem (efile rejection) if some of my client employees don't have a valid SS# or use a ITIN for work? Or is it better to just to send them by mail?
