Frequently asked questions

Questions before you buy?

Find the right Windows software and understand how your filing workflow works.

Which program do I need: ACA, 1099 IRIS, or W-2?
Choose ACA software for Forms 1095-B and 1095-C, 1099 IRIS software for supported 1099 and related information returns, or W-2 software for employee wage statements. They are separate products with different filing systems.
Can I import records from Excel or CSV files?
Yes. The Windows programs are designed to import structured source data so you do not have to retype every record. Start with our Excel and CSV templates, then review the import requirements for the program you purchase.
Where do I submit my electronic filing?
For 1099 IRIS, upload prepared CSV files through your own free IRS IRIS Taxpayer Portal account. For W-2, use the Social Security Administration's Business Services Online (BSO). For ACA, transmit the required manifest and data files using the IRS AIR process. Each agency has separate access requirements.
Does ACA software include test files for IRS AIR?
Yes. The ACA software includes built-in test files and prepares manifest and data files for the IRS AIR transmission workflow. You still need the applicable IRS AIR authorization and must follow current testing and submission rules.
How do the 1099 IRIS record limits work?
1099 IRIS offers Starter ($149 for up to 1,000 records) and Business ($249 for up to 5,000 records), with custom pricing above 5,000. One filing return included in created CSV output counts as one record; different form types share your total license allowance. The 250-record IRS CSV limit controls upload file size, not your license capacity. See record-counting examples and plan details.
Can I review and print forms before filing?
The software provides record review and validation tools, plus printing or previewing of supported recipient forms. The exact forms and output options depend on the program and filing year.
Is this online software or a Windows program?
1099ERICH sells Windows desktop software. You prepare and review your working data on your computer, then use the filing method required by the IRS or SSA for your selected program.
How do I purchase software or ask a question?
Select ACA, 1099 IRIS, or W-2 to see that product's features and ordering options. Need help choosing? Contact ERICH Incorporated before you purchase.
