From the 2019 reviews of W2 and 1099 Systems.

W-2/1099 Filer from EG Systems is well-suited for accounting professionals that file year-end compliance forms for multiple clients. W-2/1099 Filer is an on-premise application that can be installed on a desktop, workstation, or network computer. The product offers an easily navigated user interface that provides access to all system functions.

A handy feature in W-2/1099 Filer is the ability to choose from a variety of data entry options, with interactive, classic, and quick-entry options available. The application includes all electronic tax filing and magnetic media filing at no additional cost, and a Bulk TIN matching feature is available in the application as well. The application can also import data using Microsoft Excel and uses a wizard to guide users through the import/export process.

New for 2019, W-2/1099 Filer now includes a dashboard manager that displays each payor and their current status, along with a list of what has been printed or e-filed for each payor. Bulk TIN Matching has also been added to the application, though an e-services account is necessary in order to use the Bulk TIN Matching feature.

W-2/1099 allows users to carry forward any prior year totals and the product includes good password protection. The application is designed to print on pre-printed forms, but EG Systems offers an optional Laser Engine module for printing on blank paper. Users can also print directly to a PDF or save forms as a PDF that can later be mailed to clients for printing.
