Business Tax Forms & Supplies

Order Business Tax Forms to Report Wages and Compensation

Deluxe has the tax forms employers need for reporting worker's wages and other types of payments. The specific form required will depend on the type of business and its structure. Please confirm with the IRS or your accountant which forms you will need for your particular business entity. Deluxe can supply you with the tax forms and tax supplies you need, such as:

  • W-2 Wage and Tax Statement: Employers provide this form to employees, summarizing their annual wages and the taxes withheld.
  • 1099 Forms: There are several types of 1099 forms the IRS may require from businesses. Two of the most common 1099 Forms are the 1099-MISC and 1099-NEC. Deluxe offers both of these forms, as well as other 1099 Forms, all available in bulk.

In addition to these federal tax forms, businesses may also need to file state and local tax forms. The specific forms that are required will vary depending on the state and locality in which the business operates. Take printing into your own hands with tax preparation software kits, which work with both continuous and laser pre-printed forms, as well as blank tax forms.

Order Tax Form Envelopes To Help Maintain Security and Privacy

Tax form envelopes are designed to help maintain security and privacy when sending sensitive tax-related documents. Deluxe has specifically designed W-2 envelopes and 1099 envelopes. Some tax authorities or organizations may have specific guidelines on how sensitive documents like tax forms should be sent. Using double-window envelopes can help ensure compliance with these guidelines and prevent accidental violations.

Tax form envelopes are made of durable material that is difficult to tear or open and are gummed seal or self-sealing with a tamper-evident adhesive to help protect your privacy. These envelopes provide an extra layer of protection against environmental factors like moisture, dust, and physical damage, helping to safeguard the enclosed documents.

Frequently Asked Questions - Tax Envelopes and Forms

 

What is the difference between 1099-NEC and W-2 forms?

The main difference between 1099 and W-2 forms is that 1099 tax forms are used to report payments made to independent contractors, while W-2 forms are used to report wages and salaries paid to employees. Deluxe can provide you with both forms and help you get prepared with tax filing.

 

What is the difference between an employee and a contractor?

Employers should determine whether a worker is an employee or a contractor to know which is the correct tax form to issue to each worker. The IRS differentiates these worker classifications based on the degree of control and independence in the work relationship.

  • Employee: The employer generally controls how, when, and where the worker does their tasks. Employees receive regular wages, and typically receive benefits. Employers must issue W-2s to employees.
  • Contractors: Independent Contractors typically can decide how, when, and where their work is done. They may invoice for completed work, usually work on a project basis, and do not receive employee benefits. Employers must issue 1099 forms to contractors.
 

What tax preparation software are Deluxe tax forms compatible with?

Deluxe tax forms are compatible with Laser Link Software and Tax Right Software. If you use tax prep software that prints the Federal IRS format you should be able to use the tax forms sold by Deluxe. If you use different software we cannot guarantee that our forms will print correctly. We suggest requesting a sample, from customer service, to confirm Deluxe tax forms work with your software.

 

Where can you get blank tax forms?

Deluxe offers blank W-2 tax forms and blank laser 1099 forms in multiple formats for quick printing and mailing. If you need additional help with blank tax forms, please contact our customer service.

 

Do you need special envelopes to send 1099 or W-2s?

While you may not be required to use special tax envelopes it is a good idea to use the envelopes designed for sending specific tax forms. The 1099 envelopes and W-2 envelopes have extra security measures in place to help prevent the sensitive information on the forms being viewed by an unintended audience.
