Halfpricesoft Launches ezW2 2026 for IRS E-Filing Compliance
The updated desktop software automates W-2, W-3, 1099-NEC, and 1096 reporting to meet IRS mandatory e-filing rules ahead of 2027 deadlines.
Halfpricesoft.com has released ezW2 2026, an updated desktop tax preparation application designed to help businesses meet the IRS mandate requiring electronic filing for returns exceeding 10 forms. The software is aimed at employers and tax preparers facing tighter compliance requirements ahead of the 2027 filing season.
The application automates the preparation and submission of several key federal tax forms, including W-2 wage statements, the W-3 transmittal form, 1099-NEC filings for nonemployee compensation, and the accompanying 1096 summary form. By consolidating these functions into a single desktop tool, the software targets small to mid-sized businesses that may lack dedicated payroll infrastructure.
