Electronic Filing Service

We’ll take it from here … Horizon Software will upload your 1099-series information return to the IRS Electronic Filing System on your behalf.

There is a $99.00 charge for each submittal that we file on your behalf. If you wish to take advantage of this service, please read the terms and conditions at the bottom of this page, then use the following procedure to prepare your submittal:

1. Enter and verify all of your information as usual.

2. When it is time to prepare your submittal, choose Transmittal from the Main Menu.

3. Examine the Payer and Transmitter information, and edit as needed. Be sure to include your Transmitter
Control Code (TCC) assigned by IRS and your e-mail address. You are still the ‘Transmitter’, we are simply delivering your file to IRS after you prepare it.

4. Choose Original as the Submittal type (unless otherwise required).

5. Click on the Begin button.

6. When asked whether to print the transmittal report, click Yes. You may print more copies of the report by clicking the Print Report button.

You may send an e-mail to e-file@horizon-sw.com or simply call us at 800-950-4829 and let us know when you are available. It will only take a few minutes for us to connect to your computer and download the file.

8. Payment is due in advance for this service. Send a check in the amount of $99.00 payable to "Horizon Software, Inc." (in Connecticut please add $0.99 computer services tax) to the address below. If you wish to pay using Visa, Mastercard or Discover, you can give us your credit card information over the telephone.

9. We will upload the information to IRS and save a copy of the file upload page. Within 3 business days of uploading the file, we will verify with IRS whether the file was accepted or rejected and e-mail or fax you a copy of the report.

10. If for some reason the file is rejected (i.e. invalid data in the file) you must correct your FloppyTax data and generate a "Replacement" file. Please note that the $99.00 charge applies to each submittal, including replacement files and multiple files for the same payer.
