“We are excited to officially launch Yearli’s web-based features and serve our customers who previously used Greatland’s speedEfiler.com and FileTaxes.com platforms. Our team has received positive feedback on Yearli, and we look forward to offering its full capabilities,” said Bob Nault, Greatland’s CEO. “The three platforms featured in Yearli provide the complete package for businesses looking for a fast, efficient and comprehensive program to handle their federal, state and recipient reporting needs.”

In addition to filing capabilities, both web-based options offer expert help, guaranteed to answer customers reporting questions. Keeping up with the rules, regulations and many confusing details surrounding W-2 and 1099 filing can be difficult, but Greatland’s expert service team is available to help guide users through the filing process, with instant answers and assistance.

Yearli’s Performance platform, which also provides TIN Matching is designed to help businesses avoid penalties. Originally implemented by the IRS, TIN Matching allows a 1099 filer to check the TIN (Taxpayer Identification Number) and a specific name to ensure that there is a match for it in the IRS database. This process helps filers avoid IRS penalties and notices for missing TINs or incorrect Name/TIN combinations. The automated TIN matching service integrates with IRS records for hassle-free validation and is the best in the industry, delivering an easy-to-understand TIN matching report within three business days.

With the secure and easy-to-use Yearli e-file system, businesses can now avoid the hassle of mailing out paper forms this reporting season. Once a business e-files, its data is sent from Yearli directly to the appropriate federal (SSA or IRS) and state agency (SSA or IRS) – a process that on average, takes less than 15 minutes.

Greatland also takes the stress and hassle out of recipient delivery by providing users with print and mail services, an online delivery system and PDF copies to meet all of your business needs. This means customers will not have to worry about printing your W-2 and 1099 forms or stuffing envelopes and mail recipient copies this January. After submitting the data through Yearli, all copies are printed and mailed directly to recipients. Yearli can even reprint and mail W-2 and 1099 forms to recipients.

Available in Yearli’s Core and Performance platforms, Greatland also offers an online retrieval system where forms are posted in a secure online portal for recipients to download. Recipients will receive an email with a secure link to login and download their form – making resending forms easier than ever.

In addition to Yearli’s web-based capabilities, it also offers a desktop version, ideal for accountants and businesses with large form filing volume. This robust software package is designed to help simplify the entire W-2 and 1099 reporting process. The Desktop version requires a $399 annual subscription and offers discounted rates for bulk filing. With an intuitive navigation, Yearli Desktop simplifies the entire W-2 and 1099 reporting process. The downloadable version allows you to download the software online, directly to your computer. Yearli also offers a pricing calculator to allow companies to easily find the best option for their filing requirements.
