About our "B/W"
versions of Quick & Easy 1099/W2
Tax Year 2016 is the sixteenth year
that we have offered the convenience of producing the traditional
"red forms" in the W-2 series (Form W-2 Copy A and Form W-3)
without the inconvenience and expense of purchasing pre-printed red
forms.
Instead, by using the "B/W"
versions of both Quick & Easy 1099/W2 Lite and Quick & Easy
1099/W2 Unlimited, the whole process: ordering expensive pre-printed red
forms from a forms vendor, keeping track of them when they arrive,
calibrating the printer to print in the boxes, and worrying about
running out of forms during January is eliminated. Instead, Form
W-2 Copy A and Form W-3 are laser printed on blank paper, just like the other
W-2 forms.
Not surprisingly, we have found that
our customers really appreciate the convenience. We offer
"B/W" versions of both our Lite and Unlimited 1099/W2 Windows
products.
QUESTION: This sounds like a
wonderful convenience! Who would NOT want this
benefit?
Answer: There is a good answer to
this question. Unfortunately, the IRS
does not yet accept black and white copies for the red forms on the
1098/1099
side. Thus, if you produce ONLY 1098s or 1099s, the B/W versions of our
products will not help you.
QUESTION: If I buy a B/W
version, will I still be able to print on red forms when producing
1099s?
Answer: Yes, you definitely will. On
the 1099 side our B/W versions continue to support use of pre-printed red
forms (while producing the other Form 1099-series forms via laser
printing).
QUESTION: When will it be
permissible to have B/W versions for the Form 1099 series?
Answer: We have no word that this is going to happen.
If it finally does become permissible, you can count
on us being there with a B/W capability for the 1098/1099-series red forms. QUESTION:
I need to file electronically. Can you
help me with that?
Answer: We certainly can!
