ezW2 2026 Adds Integrated E-Filing for W-2 and 1099 Forms

Halfpricesoft.com has launched ezW2 2026, a updated tax preparation software package aimed at small businesses that need to file W-2, W-3, 1099-NEC, and 1096 forms in advance of the 2027 tax season. The Redmond, Washington-based company says the release is designed to reduce the complexity of managing multiple federal tax form types within a single platform.

The software bundles integrated e-filing capabilities alongside traditional form preparation, a combination that the company says can cut the time small business owners spend navigating separate filing workflows. For small enterprises with limited accounting staff, consolidating W-2 wage reporting and 1099-NEC contractor payment reporting into one tool addresses a persistent pain point during year-end tax preparation cycles.

The 2026 edition targets preparation activity that businesses will undertake in early 2027, aligning its release window with the period when employers typically begin reconciling year-end payroll data.
