As the landscape of tax regulations continues to evolve, it's essential to stay up to date with the latest developments when it comes to year-end filings year-end such as 1099 forms.
Greenshades is doing just this as we played a crucial role in the testing phase of the new 1099 portal! As an industry leader in tax compliance, Greenshades actively collaborated with the IRS to ensure the smooth operation of the 1099 portal.
If you are a Greenshades user, rest assured that there will be no changes for you, as we can handle the submissions seamlessly on your behalf. However, for users who do not utilize Greenshades, it is important to note that the new portal is specifically designated for handling 1099 filings. The 1099 portal can be found on the IRS website.
Below are the ins and outs of 1099 forms.
The 1099 Form is an IRS tax form used to report various types of income received by individuals or entities other than regular salaries, wages, and tips.
This form is typically used by those working under contract or performing freelance work and is not to be confused with an employee who typically receives a W-2 form. The W-2 form is issued to employees by their employers to report wages, salaries, and other compensation received as part of their employment. On the other hand, the 1099 form is used to report payments made to independent contractors, freelancers, or self-employed individuals for services rendered.
By participating in the testing phase on the new 1099 portal Greenshades experienced firsthand how the portal works. By applying this knowledge to our product and processes, we strive to alleviate the year-end stress by offering a streamlined workflow that simplifies deadline tracking, form review, and effortless submission and distribution. Allow Greenshades to take care of your 1099 needs, so you can focus on what matters most to your business.
