Tax Software Forms and Supplies

Make sure your tax forms supplier can handle all of your employee needs It's not very difficult for a piece of blank tax forms software to handle a company that distributes nothing more than local W-2's for all its employee needs. However, if you're like most companies and have employees that don't live locally or work with contractors who need a 1099, it can be more difficult.

I recommend:  The Tax Forms Store offers W-2 forms, 1099 forms, and a variety of other miscellaneous tax forms. Many are ready to put in your printer and go. You can also obtain tax forms at the U.S. Small Business Administraion website.

Choose sales tax forms software that can handle your company's transactions When your business is required to collect sales taxes, what should be an easy task can become messy very quickly. Often, local government entities are adding sales tax pieces to a variety of goods and services to pay for various budget items that are otherwise left behind. You need a source for sales tax supplies and software that can support these changes and obscure rules.

I recommend:  Sterling allows you to order tax forms and even customize them with your company's information.

Find tax form software that fits your company's income tax filing needs The type of income tax your business is required to file depends on your company's legal setup. There is a vast difference in preparing income taxes for a sole proprietorship and filing corporate income taxes. When you work as your own tax preparer, supplies are critical for getting the job done right.

I recommend:  If you use Intuit's QuickBooks software as many businesses do, it offers a full line of tax form supplies that integrate with built-in tax preparation options. If you use the CheckMark Software, they also offer tax supplies and forms that are compatible with their system.
