2020 Review of EagleView W-2/1099 Filing

From the 2020 reviews of W-2 and 1099 compliance systems.

Eagle View Filing from Tenenz is a great alternative for those that want to automate year-end compliance filing. The online application, well suited for both businesses and accounting firms, allows users to enter data directly into the online filing system. For those that file a large number of forms annually, both payer and recipient data can be imported into Eagle View Filing, which then completes the rest of the process, including form creation, filing, and mailing completed forms.

New users can get started by creating a new account on the Eagle View Filing website, then simply entering or uploading the required information to complete the forms. Once forms are completed, users have several filing options to choose from including e-file only, e-file, print, and mail, or print and mail. Once the process is complete, users are charged based on the number of forms and the processing options chosen.

Eagle View Filing includes the “My Dashboard” option, which allows users to get started with the filing process, choosing between various form 1099s and form W-2. The dashboard also includes an option for managing payers and recipients, making it easy to add either to the application.

Eagle View Filing supports an unlimited number of payers and recipients, making it a good option for accounting firms that need to process compliance forms for multiple clients, with volume pricing available for those filing a large number of forms. Along with all of the mailing options provided, Eagle View Filing also includes an electronic delivery option, where accounting firms can have completed W-2 and 1099 forms delivered to their client’s recipients electronically.  

Eagle View Filing supports a variety of year-end forms, including the new 1099-NEC, which is now required in order to report non-employee compensation. Other forms supported by Eagle View Filing include 1098, 1098-T, 1099 forms including 1099-B, 1099-C, 1099-DIV, 1099-INT, 1099-MISC, 1099-NEC, 1099-R, 1099-S, 1042-S, W-2, and ACA forms 1095-B and 1095-C.  The application also supports Combined Federal and State filing for 1099 forms, with correction filing available for both 1099 and W-2 forms.   

Eagle View Filing offers integration with QuickBooks online and Xero, and also includes a Microsoft Excel template which users can utilize to import data directly into the application. A manual data entry option is also available for businesses that need to process a small number of forms. The application offers product support during regular business hours, though support hours are extended during tax filing season. An FAQ page is available on the Eagle View Filing website, and users can also use the Contact Us for with any questions or concerns.

Eagle View Filing is a good fit for businesses with a single employee to enterprise level organizations that need to file thousands of compliance forms annually. With multiple processing methods, easy uploading of data and the ability to eliminate the paperwork required, Eagle View Filing has no real downside. New for the 2020 tax filing season, Eagle View Filing now allows a subscription service providing for up to 9 users to share forms and have access to unlimited TIN matching.

Prices for 1099 and W-2 forms starts at $4.75 for between 1-10 filings, which includes printing, mailing, and e-filing.  Prices drop as volume rises, so 1,000 plus forms will only cost $1.50 each to print, mail, and e-file. The application also includes separate pricing options for e-filing only or for print and mail options.
