WageFiling

What WageFiling is

WageFiling is an online service for small businesses preparing and electronically filing wage and information returns. Users enter form details on the web, receive PDF recipient copies, and WageFiling files the forms with the IRS and Social Security Administration. The listed forms include 1099-NEC, 1099-MISC, W-2 and W-2C, 1099-DIV, 1099-INT, 1098-Mortgage, 1099-R, 1099-S, 1099-DA, 1098-VLI, and W-2G. Federal and state e-filing are available.

WageFiling handles current-year and prior-year corrections for 1099-NEC and 1099-MISC. It also handles W-2 corrections when supplied with the correct information. The service masks SSNs and TINs on recipient copies of W-2 and 1099 forms. Recipients’ copies must be printed and mailed, and users can print copies for their own records.

One account can create files for multiple filers, with no filer limit or additional charge for adding filers. Published per-form options include Original (Normal) at $3.69, paid once for current-year 1099-MISC or W-2, Corrections at $4.99, paid once for 1099-MISC or W-2, and Previous Years at $4.99, paid once for 1099-MISC or W-2. WageFiling offers a free trial and advertises bilingual chat support.

Limits
