Easily enter, process and print large amounts of 2023 W2 and 1099 records

W2 Mate is a serious 1099 / W2 software. It can handle large amounts of records and comes with a number of batch processing tools such as batch print, batch delete of employees/ recipients and batch update of W-2 and 1099 forms. Some of our customers process thousands of tax statements inside one company file using our 1099 / W 2 Preparation Software.

Imports data for 1099 and W2 forms from CSV files (requires W2 Mate Option #3)

W2 Mate comes with a powerful import feature capable of mapping a CSV file (text file delimited with a comma or a tab) into the W2 and 1099 data format that can be processed by our software. You can generate a CSV file from a number of database formats such as MS Access, MS SQL, MS Excel, Oracle and so on. Our customers have used the import feature to process forms from a number of popular accounting and payroll softwares such as MAS 90, MAS 200, Peoplesoft, Sage DacEasy, Microsoft Dynamics (Great Plains), Peachtree by Sage and so on.

Imports data directly from QuickBooks Desktop(requires in addition to the purchase of W2 Mate, the purchase of W2 Mate Option #3)

The QuickBooks import wizard that comes with our 1099 W-2 software is one of the most sophisticated, yet easy to use import utilities available in the industry. While the very few applications that have the capability of importing W2 and 1099 data from QuickBooks require the user to export complex reports, process them and then import them into their software, W2 Mate connects directly to QuickBooks and retrieves the required information for employees, W2 forms and 1099-MISC / 1099-NEC forms. A detailed step-by-step wizard guides the user through the import process to guarantee a smooth and fast operation.

Imports 1099 data from Microsoft Dynamics - Great Plains (requires in addition to the purchase of W2 Mate, the purchase of W2 Mate Option #3)

W2 Mate (W2 and 1099 Software) comes with a powerful import wizard that can import 1099 data from Microsoft Dynamics GP, SL or Great Plains. The user can map Dynamics data to go into any "1099 Form / 1099 Box" supported by W2 Mate. Although Microsoft Dynamics (Great Plains) only supports 1099-MISC, 1099-INT and 1099-DIV, our 1099 reporting software gives Dynamics users the ability to process 1099-NEC, 1099-MISC, 1099-INT, 1099-DIV, 1099-R, 1099-S, 1098-T, 1098, 1099-A, 1099-B, 1099-C, 1099-PATR and 1099-OID.

Imports 1099 data from Sage Peachtree and Sage DacEasy (requires in addition to the purchase of W2 Mate, the purchase of W2 Mate Option #3)

Our 1099 tax software also comes with a dedicated 1099 import wizard for importing data from Sage Peachtree and Sage DacEasy. The user can map the data into the different 1099 form types supported by our software.

Imports SSA EFW2 Electronic Filing Format (formerly MMREF-1) Transmittals(requires in addition to the purchase of W2 Mate, the purchase of W2 Mate Option #3)

The W2 Federal Magnetic Media format is also referred to as MMREF or EFW2 format. W2 Mate supports importing data from files that comply with the W2 Electronic Filing specifications for year 2005 and above. This means W2 Mate will import the file you generate form your accounting software even if the file contains current year's data, but uses an older format. For example you might use your software to generate a file that contains W2 data for tax year 2023, and uses the W2 Electronic Filing format for 2006; W2 Mate will auto detect this and import the data properly.
Some of the scenarios where you can use this feature:

1. Your accounting or payroll software generates an EFW2 file, but does not support printing W2 Forms on regular white paper.

2. You have an accounting software or payroll software that generates the EFW2 file with current year's data, but with an older format (EFW2 file for 2023 data for example, but uses the EFW2 specification from 2019) - some accounting software vendors charge high fees for annual updates.

3. You have an EFW2 file from a previous year and you would like to import employee information from that file and then manually update figures being reported for your employees inside W2 Mate.

4. Your tax software generates an EFW2 file, but does not include state information.

5. Your software generates an EFW2 file, but does not support generating PDF files which you can email to your employees.

Exports W2 and 1099 data (employer, employee, payer and  recipient information) to Excel  format

This is one of the most popular features with our customers. With the capability to export data to Excel, our 1099 W2 filing software opens the door for the user to process the tax information inside a spreadsheet program to fit his or her own needs. For example some of our customers use the QuickBooks import capability to import the 1099 data into W2 Mate, then they use the export feature to process the data inside MS Excel and then import the data back into our 1099 / W-2 software. The resulting Excel file includes all the information relating to a certain form, for example when exporting W2 forms to Excel the resulting file includes employer information, employee information and all the boxes from 1 to 20. For example to export 2023 W2 Forms select "Export Data" and then "W2 Forms" inside our 2023 W2 Software.

Electronic Filing (E-Filing) through SSA Business Services Online and IRS FIRE (requires in addition to the purchase of W2 Mate, the purchase of W2 Mate Option #4)

Our 1099 W2 software includes the ability to generate electronic filing submissions of Annual Wage Reports (W2 Forms) and Information Returns (1099-NEC, 1099-MISC, 1099-INT, 1099-DIV and 1099-R forms). What the software basically does, it generates a file that is formatted based on the government regulations (SSA in the case of W2 and IRS in the case of 1099), this file includes the required tax information that you need to submit. In the case of W2 Forms, the resulting file is formatted according to the "Specifications for filing Forms W-2 Electronically EFW2" which is defined by the SSA. In the case of 1099 forms, the resulting file is formatted according to the "Specifications for Filing Forms 1098, 1099, 5498 and W-2G Electronically or Magnetically" which is defined by the IRS.

Once you use our software to generate the W-2 WAGE FILE you can use the SSA Business Services Online to submit the file to the Social Security Administration. Once you use our software to generate the 1099 INFORMATION RETURN FILE, you can use the IRS FIRE (Filing Information Returns Electronically) system to submit the file to the Internal Revenue Service.

Transmitters of 1099 forms are required to submit Form 4419, Application for Filing Information Returns Electronically/Magnetically to request authorization to file Information Returns with the Internal Revenue Service. Once approved, a five-character alpha/numeric Transmitter Control Code (TCC) will be assigned. If you already have a TCC for magnetic media filing, you need not reapply. Form 4419 should be submitted to the IRS at least 30 days before the due date of the returns for current year processing.

Submitters of W2 Forms are required to have a PIN (Personal Identification Number) from Social Security Administration. If you don't already have a PIN, you can register for one online at the SSA Business Services Online (BSO).

Runs over a network (requires in addition to the purchase of W2 Mate, the purchase of W2 Mate Option #2)

Using W2 Mate on a network in order to share the W2 and 1099 information is easy and straightforward. The user will first need to setup a shared data folder on a certain computer on the network (preferably a server). Any machine that needs to access the shared folder needs to have full READ, WRITE and MODIFY permissions to that folder. The 2024 W2 software needs to be installed on each machine, where the W2 and 1099 forms need to be prepared. Finally the software on each machine needs to be configured to point the "Company Data Path" to the shared data folder created earlier.

You own the software and you own the data

W2 Mate is NOT a hosted or online 1099 / W2 reporting solution. You download the software to your own machine / network where you can setup your W2 / 1099 data. No one can take care of your business information and protect it as much as you will.

Backup and Restore

Back-up the whole database in seconds to different types of media to keep your data safe and to move it from one machine to another. The restore process is just as easy and powerful. Our 2024 W2 Software gives you everything you need to keep your data safe.

Data rollover from previous tax years (for example from W2 Mate 2021 to W2 Mate 2023)

To save time and avoid re-entering employee and recipient information, you can bring the data forward from the previous year and then simply change the money amounts.

Security

Controlled access to the software through an encrypted user name and password.

Supports form W-2 reporting of employer-sponsored health coverage

The amount of the health care coverage can be reported in Box 12 of the Form W-2, with Code DD to identify the amount.

Prints W2 Forms on 4-Up Perforated Paper

This feature is very important to employers who have a large number of employees and want to create professional-looking W2 Forms.

Generates printing labels for employees and 1099 recipients

Our 1099 / W2 preparation software gives users the ability to export Employee Printing Labels for mailing 2023 W2 Forms in tax year 2024 and the ability to 1099 recipient printing labels for mailing 2023 1099 forms in tax year 2024.
