Tax filing mistakes cost businesses thousands in penalties every year. Usually, this is because their tax filings contain errors or are filed through unverified channels. Sometimes tax filings are even missed. The authenticity and credibility of tax filings matter, and many business owners are unaware of this. Most business owners need to file 1099s, W-2s, payroll tax filings, or other federal tax filings.

EasyFiling Inc. is announcing that it is an IRS Certified Acceptance Agent. This means we are in a small category of firms and tax professionals approved by the IRS to assist businesses with complete, compliant, and verified federal tax filings. So if your business is a growing LLC or a start-up, or if you need to file payroll taxes for a company operating in more than 1 state. This credential affects how your filings are done.

What is an IRS Certified Acceptance Agent?

An IRS Certified Acceptance Agent is an individual authorized by the IRS through a formal application process that includes an IRS endorsement. Being described as an IRS Certified Acceptance Agent results from formal IRS training, meeting IRS-mandated competency requirements, and a formal IRS compliance partnership.

IRS Certified Acceptance Agents have credentials that other tax preparers do not. The IRS awards this acknowledgment only to those who provide sensitive tax information that the IRS relatively trusts. The IRS does not grant this credential without careful consideration. It is an acknowledgment of both expertise and an ethical responsibility that comes with the trust of taking care of the client’s tax information.

Having an IRS Certified Acceptance Agent provides authenticity and accountability in submitting a tax return that services without verification cannot. An IRS Certified Acceptance Agent can provide assurance that submissions will follow the correct path, as the IRS has authorized their channels to be safer than unverified services. Submissions through an IRS Certified Acceptance Agent will likely be free of errors and, as such, unlikely to trigger an audit, since they are in compliance.

EasyFiling’s Core Services: Handled by IRS-Certified Experts

The services offered by EasyFiling, Inc. cover a wide range of tax services provided in accordance with the IRS Certified Acceptance Agent standards. The range of services offered meets your business’s needs.

1. 1099 and W-2 E-Filing

Businesses are required to complete and submit 1099 forms when payments are made to contractors, freelancers, or vendors that are not classified as employees. Likewise, W-2 Forms must be submitted to the IRS when the business has employees. The IRS has a certain period by which the forms must be submitted, and there is a penalty for each form submitted past the deadline, which is listed as a minimum of $60 and can exceed $630, which is largely contingent on the size of the business and how long past the deadline the form was submitted.

Many businesses make mistakes on their 1099s and W-2 filings. These mistakes may include entering the wrong taxpayer identification numbers, submitting forms in paper format when electronic submission is necessary, and submitting forms late when the recipient copies deadlines pass. EasyFiling streamlines these issues by fully automating the process and utilizing validation tools to correct errors before submission.

2. Business Tax Filings

EasyFiling works with business clients from all types of structures. This includes:

  • Sole proprietorships and single-member LLCs
  • Multi-member LLCs
  • S-Corps
  • C-Corps
  • Partnerships

EasyFiling can assist with multiple major federal forms. This includes the Form 1120 for C-Corps, Form 1120-S for S-Corps, Form 1065 for partnerships, and the Schedule C for sole proprietorships. We offer assistance in compliance filing 12 months of the year, and outside of tax season, as businesses with quarterly filing requirements appreciate the flexibility to reach out and make changes to their filings when necessary.

3. Payroll Tax Forms

Payroll taxes are part of a business’s biggest compliance tax concerns, and you should. Payroll tax compliance describes an area of utmost importance. The IRS actively enforces payroll tax compliance and may impose severe penalties for late or inaccurate payroll tax filings. Here, EasyFiling streamlines the completion of payroll tax filings. The payroll tax filings we do are:

Form Purpose Frequency
Form 941 Employer’s Quarterly Federal Tax Return Quarterly
Form 940 Federal Unemployment (FUTA) Tax Return Annual
Form W-3 Transmittal of Wage and Tax Statements Annual
Form 944 Employer’s Annual Federal Tax Return (small employers) Annual

Delays or inaccuracies in payroll filings may result in severe consequences, including payroll tax penalties ranging from 2% to 15% of the unfiled tax, as well as interest. The IRS may impose a serious penalty known as the Trust Fund Recovery Penalty, which makes business owners liable for unremitted payroll taxes. With EasyFiling, your business can meet every payroll tax filing deadline, and we also provide periodic reminders and an error-free submission process.

4. Other IRS Submissions

Apart from core tax filings, EasyFiling can also execute a wide array of IRS submissions, such as:

  • Amended returns and corrections (e.g., corrected 1099-NEC, W-2c)
  • Filing extensions and estimated tax submissions
  • Miscellaneous information returns across the 1099 series
  • Multi-state reporting requirements

As an IRS-certified Acceptance Agent, EasyFiling can meet any IRS filing obligation for your business and provide a single point of accountability for all applicable federal tax obligations.

The Real Cost of Getting Tax Filings Wrong

Business owners often underestimate the financial risks associated with incorrect or late tax filings. Here is a summary of what the IRS charges for tax filing errors:

Filing type Late/incorrect penalty Maximum annual penalty
1099/W-2 (small business) $60 per form (up to 30 days late) $630,500 per year
1099/W-2 (intentional disregard) $630+ per form No cap
Form 941 (payroll) 2% to 15% of unpaid tax Plus daily interest
Form 940 (FUTA) 5% per month unpaid Up to 25% of tax due

The IRS can impose higher financial penalties for late tax filings. For example, errors can trigger tax audits. Also, businesses with employees or contractors can receive notices. The notices can be time-consuming and can damage a business’s reputation.

Compliant filing can prevent financial burden, as the costs of late filings can exceed the costs of a Certified Acceptance Agent compliant filing service.

  • New HRs: EasyFiling is strongly applicable for HRs, especially of companies that are starting to pay employees and are new to closing payroll compliance.
  • Freelancers: EasyFiling is applicable to companies with a higher volume of 1099 filings, as they primarily need to register 1099 contractors.
  • Accountants: EasyFiling is especially strong for accounting, as they need robust compliance assistance, particularly in close and post-e-file work, where they need to finalize their work at the time EasyFiling allows submission.
  • Multi-States EasyFiling Claims: EasyFiling is especially strong, as this geographically segmented business service has led to fragmented compliance and scattered services.

Conclusion: File Smarter with an IRS Certified Acceptance Agent

Tax compliance for your business is not an option, and filing tax forms without the IRS’s approval results in substantial penalties, a huge risk of being audited, and an error-prone operation of tax form filing with compliance. Filing of the certified W-2 and 1099 forms is a default procedure of running a business and, therefore, an entity.

1099 and W-2 e-filing, and payroll tax forms in EasyFiling, all other forms of IRS submissions that deliver a completely managed and compliant service, will automatically be satisfied because you will be at peace, and you will have transparency.

Visit EasyFiling, file smarter, and allow the IRS’s Certified Acceptance Agent to complete your federal tax duties, compliance, and peace of mind once and for all.
