Turbo Tax 1099 Filing Software for 2011, 2012

The United States tax form 1099, as most people know, is used to claim multiple types of income other than wages, salaries, and tips. It’s technically known as an “information return.”

U. S. tax law requires all businesses to file a 1099 for any contractor they have paid more than six hundred dollars in one year.

During the last few years, businesses have been encouraged to file these forms electronically; if a any business has to file more than two hundred fifty within the year, then electronic filing is actually mandatory. There are over a dozen variations of the 1099 information return which can be easily looked up online.

You should know that it’s required of a taxpayer to report any of his or her earnings as a contractor even if a 1099 was not issued.

If you’ve been given a 1099 by one or more businesses, you can simply add this information to an online tax filing service like TurboTax Online. They’ll guide you through the entire process and prompt you for the knowledge as it’s needed to properly take care of everything.
