Pricing Questions

The things filers ask us before they commit.

How much does it cost to e-file a 1099?

$1.99 per form for your first 150 forms, dropping to $0.99, then $0.60, then $0.45 as your volume grows. There is no signup fee and no subscription, so a single 1099-NEC costs $1.99 and nothing else.

How do the volume tiers actually work?

They are graduated, not flat. Filing 1,500 forms does not mean 1,500 forms at $0.45 — the first 150 are $1.99, the next 350 are $0.99, the next 500 are $0.60, and only the remainder falls into the $0.45 band. That works out at $1,170.00, or an average of $0.78 per form.

Tiers are counted per form type within a filing, so a batch of 1099-NEC forms and a batch of W-2 forms are counted separately.

Do you charge for corrections?

Yes. A correction is transmitted to the IRS as a new form, so it is charged at your current per-form rate. You can file corrections for the current tax year and for prior years, as long as the original was filed through TaxFormHero.

What counts as one form?

One form is one recipient on one form type. A recipient who needs both a 1099-NEC and a 1099-MISC is two forms. A payer with 40 contractors filing 1099-NEC is 40 forms.

When am I charged?

At the point you transmit. Building forms, importing recipients and reviewing draft PDFs all cost nothing — payment happens when you send the batch to the IRS.

Is state filing included in the per-form price?

Forms covered by the IRS Combined Federal/State Filing Program are forwarded to the state at no extra cost. States outside that program need direct filing, which is the $0.99 State Filing add-on. Our state filing page shows which states fall into which group.

When am I eligible for a refund?

You may request a refund if you cancel your order through Customer Support before it has been processed for printing or e-filing. You can choose a refund or a filing credit for future use. Refunds typically take up to 14 business days, and during January and February processing may take longer. Marking a form as “Void” does not qualify for a refund.

I have more than 1,000 forms to file. Is TaxFormHero the right fit?

Yes. TaxFormHero is built to support high-volume filers including businesses, CPAs and tax professionals, with bulk import from Excel or CSV. For large volume filing support, please contact us directly.
