With ezW2 2025, you have two options for e-filing 1099-NEC and 1096 forms with the IRS:
Option 1. Direct to the IRS with ezW2's Built-In eFiling Service (Recommended)
- No TCC required; we file on your behalf.
- Upload 1099-NEC/1096 forms within ezW2.
Option 2. Self-Filing
- Requires your own TCC (Transmitter Control Code).
- ezW2 generates the required e-file document (TXT file), which you can upload to the IRS FIRE system using your own TCC.
