With Adams® Tax Forms Helper®, you can create and file your 1099, 1098 and W2 forms without leaving your desk.
No paper forms needed

What if I need a few more eFiles?
If you realize that you’ll need a few more eFiles than come with your bundle, no worries! You can buy eFiles a la carte during the eFile & checkout process.
I’ve only filed paper forms before, so what do I do?
Once you’ve got access to Tax Forms Helper, you enter or import your tax data like always. Finished? Then you’re ready to eFile. It’s that simple.
You’ll select the forms you want to eFile on the Forms page, check the boxes and click the Checkout & eFile button. See our Federal eFiling article for step-by-step details on eFiling.
For each form, you’ll select the checkbox for the eServices you want:
You can eFile forms to the IRS and SSA
You can eFile your participating State if available
You can add Print & Mail Assistant, and Tax Forms Helper will mail copies to your employees and recipients
You can add PDF File Share and we'll email your recipients a secure link so they can download copies of their forms
Do I need to send my recipients copies if I eFile?
Yes, you are still obligated to send copies to your recipients. You can print out the forms to plain paper and mail them yourself, use our Print & Mail Service to have us mail paper copies for you, or email a secure link to your recipients by checking the box for PDF File Share during checkout.
What about the 1096 or W-3?
Tax Forms Helper automatically calculates and includes your summary information with your eFiling.
Can I get a copy of exactly what you sent?
No, we generate and transmit .txt and XML files to the appropriate system for the IRS, SSA, or state, depending on your checkout selections and the type of form. These are batch files with thousands of lines of data for many customers. It's not possible to send you the file we transmit.
Do I need a TCC to eFile?
No, we are an authorized transmitter to the IRS and SSA. We send the files on your behalf, just complete checkout and you're done!
