I just filed my one and only 1099 NEC with the help of TaxBandits and everything went absolutely smoothly. I'm using TaxBandits for my 941 quarterly reports and my W-2 filings and love the service.
This is my 2nd year of using TaxBandits to file 1099-NEC forms. Process is straightforward, and their system checks for errors, specifying what the errors are so you can fix them. I'm satisfied.
