W9 Forms Online
NEW! Recipients can fill out W9 Forms online for use when filing 1099s on DiscountEfile.

It’s easy, electronic and only $1 per form!
SMS Multi-Factor Authorization – Get added security with 2-factor authorization via text. Find the option under the Security Tab of the My Account page for instructions.
New Direct-to-State filing – 1099-MISC forms can now be filed directly with Colorado, Iowa, Massachusetts and Montana. 1099-NEC and 1099-R can be filed directly with Illinois, Colorado, Iowa, Massachusetts and Montana.
New 1099 Corrections for Previous Years – You can now file corrections for previous year 1099-B, -C, -K, and 1098-T forms.
These features were added in 2023….
Activity Log – This new feature provides a list of activities by user (form in progress, form checked out, etc.), giving you better visibility into all the tasks being worked on by your team. This feature is exclusive to Plus and Premium Subscription accounts.
Permission Levels for Team Members – For Plus and Premium Subscriptions, we have added different access levels: Admin, Editor, and Viewer. Each level has specific tasks and viewing rights.
1099-K Forms – This form is used to report the gross amount of reportable payments made by a payment settlement entity (PSE) in settlement of reportable payment transactions for each calendar year.
Prior Year Forms – Starting this year, we will support not only the current year forms (2023) but also 2022 forms. If you need to complete a prior year form, you will be able to do so throughout the year. We will e-file, print and mail these forms to assist in keeping you compliant.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) – MFA is an electronic verification method where a user is granted access to an application via something they know (password) and something they have (unique login code), which we incorporated into our platform several years ago. New this season is the ability to obtain the unique log in code via text message for increased flexibility (available in November).
In-App Help – It is hard to remember from one year to the next, exactly what to do when completing your forms. The system now includes in-app context-sensitive help to make completing your forms easier.
User Friendliness – We’ve continued to modify the platform to improve functionality and speed. We’ve added more validations to prevent errors and speed up your process.
