2011 FloppyTax for Windows

Updated for 2011!  As usual, IRS has made a few changes to their specification for reporting 1099-series information returns electronically.  The Final Edition of 2011 FloppyTax is ready now:

All payees for a particular type of form (i.e. 1099-MISC) are listed in a scrollable window.  The user can sort this list by any of the columns, such as record number, tax ID, name, account number, etc.  Just double-click on any payee to edit that form:

By designing our data-entry form to be similar to the official IRS paper form, we make it instantly recognizable.  When using paper forms as the input source, there is no confusion as to what the fields are.  At the bottom of the screen we list the record number (a unique identifying number for each form in the database), instructions for the field you are editing, the date this record was added to the database, and the date it was last modified.

Reports can be printed to verify data-entry, as well as to provide paper copies for the form recipients.  Just select the forms you wish to print, then click on Print:

Options include a summary report showing name, address, tax ID number and payment amounts, an amount totals report, various types of pre-printed laser forms, and a substitute form on plain paper.

When it is time to prepare your IRS transmittal, simply click Transmittal on the main menu, review the Payer and Transmitter information, and click Begin to prepare your file for IRS. Magnetic media filing is no longer accepted by IRS - you must use the F.I.R.E. system for electronic filing.

If you need help transmitting your electronic submittal to IRS, we offer a convenient Electronic Filing Service for users of our FloppyTax magnetic media software.   Just send us your submittal file via e-mail, ZIP disk, CD-ROM, etc. and we will upload it to the IRS F.I.R.E. system on your behalf.  You will get a copy of their acceptance message for your records, and the knowledge that your file was accepted within days instead of months. 

2011 FloppyTax for Windows prepares all of these 1099-series forms:

1098, 1098-T, 1099-B, 1099-DIV, 1099-INT, 1099-MISC, 1099-PATR, 1099-R, 1099-S, and W-2G
