Pros from Real Users

Pros

  • This product is very easy to use. Support system is good and quick to respond when needed. It's a good value just in saving employee time. Simply load in the information and you are notified of any errors You are notified when mailings have been completed and the IRS copies have been uploaded.
  • Easy to use Saves information from prior years Excellent price points Avoids having to buy forms in bulk and waste them It files and sends all the information
  • The Social Security Number check has saved me from a lot of hassle. It alone is worth the minor expense of this product. I don't have to do much with employees or contractors and I'm an unpaid volunteer.
  • I am the treasurer for my company and annually I am required to file 1098-T for our students, 1099s for our vendors and ACA Reporting to the IRS, eFileMyForms as always been my reliable source to file these forms accurately and in a timely manner to the IRS. They recently added tin verifications which really helps to prevent additional fines from the IRS if we file incorrect tin numbers.
  • Ease of completing 1099's. Info is stored from year to year so I do not have to input it each year. My CPA recommended this service several years ago and I'm glad he did.
  • Very easy to use & forms go out timely
  • The website makes it so easy for our business to send 1099's each year. With an account, it is even more beneficial as it keeps information for repeat contractors that we use from year to year. I don't have to manually fill out any form; just a few clicks of the button and copies are sent to the recipient and the proper government office. The prices seem to be reasonable enough as well.
  • I can file for multiple bookkeeping clients and keep information stored year over year. And I don't have to have a complicated membership to use it, I can just do one form at a time if necessary. Also, it has all the 1099 forms that I need, not just the NEC's
  • EZ File really did make it easy to file 1099 tax forms for the independent contractors at my business.
  • I have been using eFileMyForms for the 1099's of my company and it's very straight forward and easy to use

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Sales tax software selection shouldn’t be taken lightly because of the impact on the business from a financial perspective. Going through that process with Vertex was eye opening. They were able to guide us down all the necessary paths to ensure that the system was set up correctly. So, getting them involved at the start prepared us for a successful integration. The steps to the integration were clear and precise. Our UAT didn’t see any hiccups which made the go live date happen sooner than expected. After going live is when some of the struggles a company could run into with software vendors. That isn’t the case with Vertex. We had questions and their responses were immediate and accurate. This brought comfort to management because nothing seems to be lingering. We have converted all our marketplaces along with our ERP to have one source of truth and we couldn’t be happier with that decision to go with Vertex.
  • Good solution to work with ERPs and billing systems. Reliable customer support. Had no issue with the software. Valuable price for the features.

Cons

  • Currently, there isn’t anything to dislike because they take on every challenge with a team of well knowledgeable staff.
  • It was difficult to setup everything and to use the software when we just installed it. If would be great if you offered a detailed guide how to use it.

Corporate Tax Supported

Sovos helps corporations meet the recurring tax reporting obligations that sit alongside income tax, including information reporting, withholding, and regulatory filings. Finance and tax teams use Sovos to file 1099, W-2, 1042-S, and ACA forms, validate payee data, screen counterparties, and maintain records that hold up under audit. Corporate tax teams manage overlapping federal, state, and international requirements, often across disconnected tools. That fragmentation creates errors and slows audit preparation. Sovos brings these obligations into one platform with a shared data model, so you work from a single source of truth. Sovos supports FATCA-related validation, OFAC and Death Master File screening, and IRIS-ready federal filing. Data is processed in SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certified data centers. Consolidate your corporate tax reporting obligations with Sovos.

Crypto Tax Supported

Sovos helps digital asset brokers, exchanges, and financial institutions meet cryptocurrency tax reporting requirements. Brokers must report digital asset sales and exchanges to the IRS on Form 1099-DA, with gross proceeds reporting first and cost basis reporting added in later years. Digital asset reporting adds high transaction volumes, new form types, and strict taxpayer identification rules to your filing process. Sovos gives you one workflow to collect and validate customer TINs, prepare 1099-DA and related information returns, file with the IRS through IRIS, and deliver recipient copies. Built-in Name/TIN matching helps you catch mismatches before filing and reduce B-Notices and backup withholding issues. For global operations, Sovos supports digital asset reporting frameworks such as DAC8 and CARF. Prepare for digital asset reporting with Sovos.

Sales Tax Supported

Sovos automates sales and use tax compliance for businesses that sell across multiple U.S. states and local jurisdictions. You calculate the correct tax rate at the point of transaction, track economic nexus thresholds, manage exemption certificates, and prepare and file returns from one system. Sales tax rules change constantly, and every state sets its own rates, taxability rules, and filing schedules. Manual rate tables and spreadsheets lead to miscalculations, missed filings, and audit exposure. Sovos keeps tax content current so your rates and rules stay up to date as jurisdictions change. Sovos connects with ERP, billing, and e-commerce systems, so tax determination happens inside the workflows you already run. Your transaction data, returns, and records stay in one audit-ready place. Automate sales and use tax compliance with Sovos.

Tax Compliance Supported

Sovos is a tax compliance platform that helps organizations manage indirect tax, information reporting, identity verification, and unclaimed property in one system. You handle sales and use tax, VAT and e-invoicing, 1099, W-2, 1042-S, and ACA filing, TIN matching, and escheatment reporting without managing separate vendors for each obligation. Tax rules change constantly across federal, state, and international jurisdictions. Disconnected tools create duplicate data, manual reconciliation, and gaps in audit records. Sovos puts your tax data and regulatory content in one shared data model, so your records stay consistent and ready for review. The Sovos Regulatory Graph and Sovi AI connect regulatory updates with your transaction data. Sovos supports IRIS-ready federal filing, real-time CTC mandates, and API, SFTP, and ERP integrations. Data is processed in SOC 2 and ISO 27001

Unclaimed Property Supported

Sovos helps businesses identify, track, and report unclaimed property to U.S. states. You run dormancy analysis, send due diligence letters to owners, generate NAUPA-formatted reports, and file electronically with states. Every state sets its own dormancy periods, exemptions, and reporting deadlines. Tracking property in spreadsheets leads to missed deadlines, state audits, fines, and interest penalties. Sovos replaces manual tracking with guided workflows and built-in state rule guidance that show you what to report and when. Automated due diligence letters help you reach owners before property escheats. ReportMyUP, powered by Sovos, supports NAUPA-compliant reporting for all 50+ U.S. jurisdictions and one-click eFiling to 30+ states. A full audit trail keeps your filing history ready if a state asks. Start managing unclaimed property and escheatment reporting with Sovos.
