Sovos Features and Options
Corporate Tax Software
Sovos provides solutions for businesses to effectively handle their ongoing tax reporting responsibilities that extend beyond income tax, encompassing aspects like information reporting, withholding, and compliance filings. Finance and tax departments utilize Sovos for submitting forms such as 1099, W-2, 1042-S, and ACA, as well as for verifying payee information, screening business partners, and maintaining audit-ready records. Corporate tax teams often grapple with overlapping federal, state, and international regulations using various disconnected tools, which can lead to mistakes and hinder the audit process. Sovos streamlines these requirements into a single platform featuring a unified data model, allowing you to operate from a consistent source of information. Sovos also offers support for FATCA compliance checks, OFAC and Death Master File screenings, alongside IRIS-compliant federal filings. All data is managed in data centers that adhere to SOC 2 and ISO 27001 standards. Streamline your corporate tax reporting processes with Sovos.
Sales Tax Software
Sovos streamlines sales and use tax compliance for businesses operating in various U.S. states and local areas. The platform accurately calculates applicable tax rates during transactions, monitors economic nexus thresholds, oversees exemption certificates, and facilitates the preparation and filing of returns all within a single system. Given the ever-evolving nature of sales tax regulations, where each state establishes its own rates, taxability criteria, and filing timelines, relying on manual rate tables and spreadsheets can lead to errors, overlooked filings, and increased risk of audits. Sovos ensures that your tax content is always up-to-date, adapting to changes in jurisdictional requirements. By integrating seamlessly with ERP, billing, and e-commerce platforms, Sovos ensures that tax determination occurs within your existing workflows. This allows all transaction data, returns, and records to be consolidated in one easily accessible and audit-ready location. Simplify your sales and use tax compliance process with Sovos.
Crypto Tax Software
Sovos provides essential support for digital asset brokers, exchanges, and financial institutions in complying with cryptocurrency tax obligations. Brokers are required to disclose sales and exchanges of digital assets to the IRS using Form 1099-DA, starting with reporting gross proceeds, with cost basis disclosures being incorporated in subsequent years. The process of reporting digital assets introduces complexities such as increased transaction volumes, the need for new forms, and rigorous taxpayer identification regulations. Sovos streamlines this process by offering a unified workflow that enables the collection and validation of customer Taxpayer Identification Numbers (TINs), the preparation of 1099-DA and associated information returns, electronic filing with the IRS through the IRIS system, and distribution of recipient copies. With integrated Name/TIN matching capabilities, Sovos helps identify discrepancies prior to filing, minimizing the risk of B-Notices and backup withholding complications. For businesses operating internationally, Sovos also facilitates compliance with digital asset reporting frameworks like DAC8 and CARF. Get ready to tackle digital asset reporting efficiently with Sovos.
Unclaimed Property Software
Sovos assists enterprises in the identification, monitoring, and reporting of unclaimed assets to various U.S. states. The platform facilitates dormancy analysis, dispatches due diligence notifications to asset owners, produces reports in NAUPA format, and enables electronic filing with state authorities. Each state has its own specific dormancy timelines, exemptions, and deadlines for reporting. Relying on spreadsheets to manage this information can result in overlooked deadlines, state audits, fines, and interest charges. Sovos streamlines the tracking process with intuitive workflows and integrated state-specific guidance, helping you understand what needs to be reported and when. Automated due diligence notifications ensure you connect with asset owners prior to the property becoming unclaimed. ReportMyUP, powered by Sovos, offers NAUPA-compliant reporting across all 50+ U.S. jurisdictions and features one-click eFiling for over 30 states. Additionally, a comprehensive audit trail maintains your filing history for future reference in case of state inquiries. Begin your journey in managing unclaimed assets and escheatment reporting with Sovos.
Tax Compliance Software
Sovos is an all-in-one tax compliance solution designed to assist businesses in overseeing indirect taxes, information reporting, identity verification, and unclaimed property seamlessly. It simplifies the management of various tax obligations, including sales and use tax, VAT, e-invoicing, 1099 forms, W-2s, 1042-S, ACA filings, TIN matching, and escheatment reporting, eliminating the need for multiple vendors to handle different requirements. Given the ever-evolving nature of tax regulations at federal, state, and global levels, organizations often face challenges with fragmented tools that lead to data duplication, manual reconciliation, and incomplete audit trails. Sovos addresses these issues by integrating your tax information and regulatory content within a unified data model, ensuring that your records remain consistent and readily available for audits. Leveraging the Sovos Regulatory Graph and Sovi AI, the platform connects regulatory changes with your transaction data. It enables compliance with IRIS-ready federal filings, real-time CTC mandates, and offers integrations with APIs, SFTP, and ERP systems. All data processing adheres to SOC 2 and ISO 27001 standards, ensuring security and reliability.
Sovos Lists
W-2
Sovos provides comprehensive solutions for employers and payroll departments in managing the preparation, verification, submission, and distribution of Form W-2. The process involves importing wage data, ensuring that employee details are accurate, filing with the Social Security Administration as well as relevant state agencies, and delivering copies to employees via print, mail, or electronic delivery. It's important to note that the deadline for filing W-2s with the SSA and providing employee copies is January 31. Preparing forms manually and making corrections at the last minute can result in penalties and create additional workload during peak times. Sovos offers pre-submission error validation, allowing you to rectify issues before they are sent to the SSA or state offices. In addition to W-2s and W-2c corrections, Sovos also facilitates state wage reporting, along with handling 1099, 1042-S, and ACA forms in an integrated workflow. Smaller teams can manage e-filing on a per-form basis using eFileMyForms, while larger organizations can take advantage of the 1099Pro Cloud for bulk imports and unlimited user access. Begin your W-2 filing process with Sovos today.
VAT Compliance
Sovos empowers organizations to navigate VAT compliance, e-invoicing, and regular VAT reporting across various international jurisdictions. With our solution, you can fulfill continuous transaction control (CTC) requirements, relay real-time invoice information to tax authorities, and manage VAT returns and reports like SAF-T all from a single platform. As nations shift from traditional periodic VAT returns to modern real-time e-invoicing and digital reporting, each regulation presents unique formats, timelines, and clearance models. The EU's VAT in the Digital Age (ViDA) initiative is set to broaden these obligations even further. Sovos diligently monitors these developments and refreshes its integrations with tax authorities, ensuring your operations remain aligned with evolving mandates. The Sovos CTC Compliance Network seamlessly links your ERP to tax authority systems, ensuring consistent invoice and VAT data across multiple countries. Stay compliant with global VAT and e-invoicing requirements with Sovos.
TIN Verification
Sovos provides a service to verify taxpayer identification numbers (TINs) against IRS data prior to onboarding, making payments, or submitting filings. TINCheck by Sovos offers real-time matching of Name/TIN pairs, processes bulk files, and seamlessly integrates verification into onboarding workflows using REST and SOAP APIs. When names and TINs do not align, it can lead to B-Notices, backup withholding obligations, and potential penalties from the IRS. To avoid these complications, identify discrepancies early rather than during the busy filing season. The bulk TIN matching feature can handle up to 100,000 records, delivering results within 24 to 48 hours. TINCheck not only incorporates IRS TIN matching but also includes checks against OFAC sanctions lists, the Death Master File, and more than 30 government and international watchlists, all within a single platform. This functionality enhances KYC, AML, and vendor verification processes, eliminating the need for multiple tools. Furthermore, TINCheck Cache ensures access to results even if the IRS system is temporarily unavailable. Conduct a TIN match with Sovos prior to the start of the filing season.
1099
Sovos offers a comprehensive solution for businesses to manage the entire process of preparing, validating, filing, and distributing 1099 forms to both the IRS and state authorities. Users can easily import payee information, conduct Name/TIN validation, electronically file federal and state returns, and send out copies to recipients via print, mail, or electronic delivery. With the IRS planning to phase out its old FIRE system by December 31, 2026, all electronic information returns for Tax Year 2026 and beyond will transition to the new IRIS system. Unlike FIRE, which reported errors days or weeks later, IRIS identifies issues immediately upon submission. Sovos is fully equipped to handle this new system, ensuring a seamless transition for your filing needs. Sovos supports a variety of forms including 1099-NEC, 1099-MISC, 1099-INT, 1099-DIV, 1099-R, among others, and facilitates Combined Federal/State Filing. Whether you prefer pay-per-form filing with eFileMyForms or require high-volume processing through the 1099Pro Cloud—allowing for unlimited users and payers—Sovos has the right option for you. Streamline your 1099 filing with Sovos.

Great tool for many years! Date: Sep 23 2026
Summary: I would recommend efilemyforms.com to any self-employed business owner for managing 1099's. I have never had to use them for anything other than filing 1099's but it makes tax time so much easier knowing that I can quickly input a little information and hit send and the website does the rest. I also find it helpful that efilemyforms.com will even verify Social Security or Work numbers for those whom you may be sending 1099's to.
Positive: The website makes it so easy for our business to send 1099's each year. With an account, it is even more beneficial as it keeps information for repeat contractors that we use from year to year. I don't have to manually fill out any form; just a few clicks of the button and copies are sent to the recipient and the proper government office. The prices seem to be reasonable enough as well.
Negative: The only con is that is does cost a bit more than if you just filled out the forms by hand or on your own computer program, but I am satisfied as this works best for us

Summary: This is an excellent service. It makes an obligatory task easy and fast. We will remain a satisfied customer.
Positive: We have only 20-30 1099s to produce, so using eFileMyForms makes a lot of sense. The import feature is great. They handle the rest. It's a pain free as possible. We've had to revise a few submissions and it's also easy to work through that process.
Negative: At times I have difficulty navigating to the screen that I want. If I used it more than one month of the year, perhaps this wouldn't be a problem.
