What Aatrix eFile is
Aatrix eFile provides year-end eFiling for organizations that use payroll or HR software. It handles W-2, 1099, ACA 1095, unemployment, wage-withholding, new-hire, and payment filings. Users can upload or enter data, review and edit forms, then submit them. For 1099s, data can come from a federal 1099 file or a CSV or tab-delimited spreadsheet exported from accounts payable software. Aatrix says it connects with more than 60 software programs and offers payroll and accounting partner integrations. Its COMPLETE W-2/1099 service mails recipient copies the next business day, files required state and federal copies, and retains employer copies in a history file. The preparer software is free to download, but filing requires payment. Annual packages begin with Package A at $119 a year for 1-5 employees; separate federal ACA, federal 1099, and state 1099 services are priced per employee or recipient. Aatrix is based in Grand Forks, North Dakota, and was founded in 1986.
