If you’re looking for online 1099 filing options for CPAs, here are the common routes:

1. IRS Information Return Intake System (IRIS)

  • Free federal e-filing for 1099s and other information returns.
  • Good for firms filing for multiple clients.
  • Best if you want to file directly with the IRS without a third-party platform.

2. CPA-focused 1099 software

Popular options include:

  • Tax1099
  • Track1099
  • Yearli
  • QuickBooks Contractor/1099 filing tools
  • W-2/1099 platforms integrated with accounting firms

These often support:

  • Client-level dashboards
  • Bulk filing
  • Recipient delivery
  • State filing
  • CPA/practice management workflows

3. Payroll/accounting platforms

If you already use:

  • QuickBooks Online
  • Gusto
  • Xero
  • ADP
  • Patriot

they may offer 1099 prep and filing features, sometimes with firm access.

What CPAs usually want to check

  • Can you file for multiple clients under one account?
  • Does it support state filings and recipient copies?
  • Does it handle 1099-NEC, 1099-MISC, 1099-INT, 1099-DIV, 1099-R, etc.?
  • Does it offer bulk upload/import from Excel or CSV?
  • Is it IRS-authorized e-filing?
  • What are the per-form fees and service fees?

If you want the easiest recommendation

  • Small volume / free federal filing: IRIS
  • CPA firm workflow and client management: Tax1099 or Track1099
  • Already in QuickBooks: use QuickBooks’ filing tools
