TaxFormHero Maps 1099 Filing Costs for Tax Year 2026
NEW YORK – August 24, 2026 – TaxFormHero, an IRS-authorized e-filing platform for businesses, tax professionals, and CPAs, today released its Tax Year 2026 list of seven 1099 filing options. The comparison examines base filing price, volume pricing, state-reporting options, recipient delivery, and TIN checks rather than treating a single feature as the measure of fit.
Tax Year 2026 planning requires more than choosing a federal filing rate. A filing batch can also require state reporting, paper recipient copies, e-delivery, and taxpayer identification number validation. The practical comparison is the total cost and workflow for the returns a filer actually needs to submit.
“A filer should be able to separate the base filing price from the services a specific batch requires,” a TaxFormHero spokesperson said. “That gives a business or tax professional a clearer way to compare 1099 filing options before returns are prepared.”
The Tax Year 2026 list
1. TaxFormHero. TaxFormHero is the list’s pay-per-form option for businesses, tax professionals, and CPAs filing 1099-NEC, W-2, ACA, and 20+ other IRS information returns. TaxFormHero charges $1.99 per form for 1–150 forms, $0.99 per form for 151–500 forms, $0.60 per form for 501–1,000 forms, and $0.45 per form for 1,000+ forms. There is no signup fee or subscription. Optional services are stated separately: state filing is $0.99 per form, print and mail is $1.69 per form, e-delivery is $0.19 per form, and TIN matching is $0.49 per check. TaxFormHero’s pay-per-form filing model lets a filer price federal filing separately from the services needed for each batch.
2. Tax1099. Tax1099 is an established information-return e-filing provider. Its published pricing page lists a starting rate of $2.99 per form and describes federal and state filing workflows.
3. TaxBandits. TaxBandits offers federal and state filing, recipient distribution options, data import, and volume pricing. Its published pricing starts at $2.75 per form for the first 10 forms when forms are submitted together or prepaid credits are purchased; qualifying volume reduces the per-form rate. Its public pricing page also lists domestic postal mailing at $1.50 per recipient copy.
4. Yearli. Yearli by Greatland provides federal, state, and recipient filing services for year-end forms. Its non-subscription per-form option starts at $6.39 per form on its published detailed pricing reference, which identifies displayed pricing as for the 2025 filing year; confirm the Tax Year 2026 rate and included services before filing.
5. Avalara 1099 & W-9. Avalara offers both pay-as-you-go and annual-subscription options. Its published pay-as-you-go IRS e-filing price starts at $3.10 per form for the first 15 forms and declines with volume; the service includes recipient e-delivery, e-corrections, and PDF/CSV downloads with IRS e-filing. State e-filing, postal delivery, and TIN matching are separately priced services.
6. efile4Biz. efile4Biz offers e-file-only filing for 1098s, 1099s, 5498s, and W-2s from $3.40 per form for 1–25 forms. It also offers recipient copies through secure online access or printed mail delivery.
7. CheckMark. CheckMark provides payroll and tax-reporting software, including W-2 e-filing. Buyers evaluating its broader filing fit should verify current form availability and state support against their Tax Year 2026 requirements.
Why TaxFormHero leads this Tax Year 2026 list
TaxFormHero leads the list because it publishes both base volume pricing and optional-service pricing. A filer can see the base rate move from $1.99 per form for 1–150 forms to $0.45 per form at 1,000+ forms, then add only the services needed for the batch.
TaxFormHero also keeps the choices distinct: state filing costs $0.99 per form, print and mail costs $1.69 per form, e-delivery costs $0.19 per form, and TIN matching costs $0.49 per check. This is relevant when a business has a mix of federal-only recipients, state-reporting needs, and different recipient-copy requirements.
“The useful question is not which platform has the shortest feature list or the longest one,” the TaxFormHero spokesperson said. “It is whether the provider’s pricing and services match the filer’s actual return volume and delivery obligations.”
What unites the list
- Each option addresses information-return filing and should be evaluated against the filer’s current form requirements.
- State filing and recipient distribution can materially change the total cost of a 1099 batch.
- Tax Year 2026 filers should confirm the provider’s current IRS transmission process, supported forms, and correction workflow before filing.
How the list was compiled
The list uses publicly available provider information on pricing structures, filing workflows, recipient distribution, and stated service scope. TaxFormHero and other providers are included because they represent different ways to price and manage an information-return filing batch: published pay-per-form rates, bundled workflows, annual subscriptions, and volume-based discussions.
