LOUISVILLE, KY, January 30, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Feb 1st, 2010 mailing deadline is around the corner. It is time for small business owners to print Form 1099's or W-2's to report earnings paid to employees or contractors.
Now it's easier than ever for small business owners and tax preparers to print and file W2's and 1099's this tax season. Newly released updates to the 2009 edition of ezW2 software now allow users to import employee and contractor data from other programs and spreadsheets.
Halfpricesoft.com, the Louisville, Ky.-based software firm that created and distributes ezW2, added the new feature at the request of customers who enjoyed many of the other features in the 2009 release.
"It's important to us that ezW2 be exactly what our customers need it to be," said Halfpricesoft.com founder Dr. Ge. "Many of our users keep employee data in other software programs and wanted an easy way to import that data to ezW2."
The new feature added to ezW2 2009 allows users to import employee lists, contractors lists and certain tax information from .csv files--a common format used by spreadsheet software. Users can export their data from other programs and spreadsheets into the .csv format and then import it into ezW2 2009. This saves customers time, because they don't have to enter all the information for each employee and contractor by hand. The data import function is straight forward and easy to use, says Dr. Ge.
Released in December, ezW2 2009 is the latest release of this popular tax-related software designed with non-accountants in mind. The 2009 edition includes all state and federal updates needed for filing W2, W3, 1096 and 1099 forms in the 2010 tax season.
Also new to the 2009 release of ezW2 is the ability to print two sets of W2 or 1099 data on one red form sheet. Print one employee's or contractor's data on the top half of the sheet and another on the bottom. Business owners can now cut costs for red form sheets in half.
Anyone looking for an easier way to print and file W2's, W3's, 1099's and 1096's, can try ezW2 2009 without cost or obligation. The software is available for free download at http://www.halfpricesoft.com/w2-software-free-download.asp. This is not a demo or trial version. All features are available and there are no time limitations. It is the complete software. However, documents will print with a "DEMO" or "SAMPLE" watermark across each page until a license key is purchased. The license key is just $39.
The download package includes a sample database, which makes sampling ezW2 2009 even easier. Users don't have to waste time entering data just to try the software; all they have to do is upload the sample database and start trying the features. This saves customers time and money and ensures that ezW2 2009 is right for them before they buy.
