APPLY NOW for IRS FIRE and SSA BSO accounts for electronic filing!Monday, November 11, 2024Remember: ALL filers with more than 10 forms of any type (W-2, 1099, ACA, etc.) are required to file electronically! WAMS can help you make files to file 1099s and W-2s but you will need access to the IRS FIRE system to file 1099s and the SSA BSO system to file W-2s.
* If you're filing a type of form electronically for the first time,
apply for access ASAP (before the end of November)! It can take up to 45 days and a number of steps to gain access to these systems.
*
If you filed last year, make sure you can still access the BSO and FIRE systems.

See our page about Electronically Filing W-2 and 1099 forms for more information. We will continue to update this throughout the year.
