Frequently Asked Questions

A filer is an individual or entity that is required to file information returns with the IRS, SSA (Social Security Administration), FinCEN (Financial Crimes Enforcement Network), or other regulatory agencies. This can include businesses, non-profits, employers, and other organizations that need to report tax or compliance information.

In most cases, this will be you—whether you're a business owner, employer, or organization reporting tax information to the IRS, SSA, FinCEN, or any other regulatory body. The filer is responsible for submitting accurate and timely information returns to the appropriate agencies.

A recipient is an individual or entity that receives a tax form from a filer and whose information is being reported to the IRS or other agencies. This includes employees receiving W-2 forms, independent contractors receiving 1099-NEC forms, vendors receiving 1099-MISC forms, healthcare recipients receiving 1095 forms, and any other party that receives payments, benefits, or services that must be reported for tax compliance purposes.

Yes! EFileForMe makes it incredibly easy to reuse your previous year's form data with our powerful export feature. This is a huge time-saver for businesses that file similar forms year after year for the same recipients.

Here's how it works: Simply go to your Orders page, locate last year's order, and click the "Export" button. This will download all your form data as a CSV file (or a ZIP file with multiple CSVs if you had different form types). You can then open this CSV file in Excel, update the year and any changed information (like updated amounts, addresses, or tax withholdings), and import it right back into EFileForMe to create this year's forms instantly.

This export-and-import workflow is perfect for recurring filings like annual 1099-NEC forms for the same contractors, W-2 forms for ongoing employees, or 1095-C forms for enrolled healthcare participants. It eliminates the need to manually re-enter recipient information each year, dramatically reducing data entry time and minimizing errors.

All forms can be filed for current and prior tax years. If you have questions about a specific form type, please contact our support team at 1-877-EZ-EFILE or support@efileforme.com.

IRS filing deadlines vary depending on the form type. Here are the most common deadlines for information returns:

• 1099-NEC: January 31st (both IRS filing and recipient copies)
• W-2: January 31st (both Social Security Administration filing and employee copies)
• 1099-MISC: January 31st for recipient copies; February 28th (paper) or March 31st (electronic) for IRS filing
• 1095-B and 1095-C (ACA Forms): February 28th (paper) or March 31st (electronic) for IRS filing; recipient copies by January 31st
• Most other 1099 forms: February 28th (paper) or March 31st (electronic)

It's important to note that these deadlines apply to most tax years, but the IRS occasionally makes adjustments. If any date shown falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday in the District of Columbia or where the return is to be filed, the due date is the next business day. Leap years do not impact the due date. Filing electronically with EFileForMe gives you until March 31st for many form types (instead of February 28th for paper filers), giving you extra time to get your filings completed accurately. We recommend filing early to avoid last-minute stress and to give recipients their copies as soon as possible. For full details on filing deadlines see our deadlines page.
