1099 and W-2 preparation & filing in Mesa, AZ

If you pay workers or contractors, you must send them the right tax forms. Weech Financial, PLLC offers 1099 and W-2 preparation & filing Mesa business owners can use to meet the filing rules. We help you get the forms done and sent in, so you can focus on running your business.

What 1099 and W-2 Preparation & Filing Involves

A W-2 is the form you give to employees. It shows what you paid them and what taxes you held back. A 1099 is the form you give to contractors and other people you paid who are not employees. Both forms also go to the IRS. Getting them right means the names, numbers, and amounts all match your records. It also means sending them by the due dates.

  • Sorting workers into employees and contractors
  • Gathering names, addresses, and tax ID numbers
  • Adding up what you paid during the year
  • Preparing the forms and filing them with the IRS
  • Getting copies to your workers

Who Needs 1099 and W-2 Preparation & Filing

Many Mesa business owners need these forms. If you have staff on payroll, you need W-2s. If you pay freelancers, repair people, or other outside help, you may need 1099s. This is true for small shops, landlords, nonprofits, and growing companies.

  • Business owners with employees
  • Companies that hire contractors or freelancers
  • Real estate investors who pay vendors
  • Nonprofits with staff or paid outside help
  • Owners who are not sure how to classify a worker

Common Problems We See

Most problems with these forms come from small mistakes or missing information. The IRS can charge penalties for late forms, missing forms, or wrong forms. Fixing a mistake later can take more time than doing it right the first time.

  • Missing tax ID numbers or old addresses for contractors
  • Workers labeled the wrong way, as contractor or employee
  • Payments that were never tracked during the year
  • Forms filed late or not filed at all
  • Totals that do not match payroll or bookkeeping records
  • Forms from past years that were never filed

What to Expect

We start by looking at what you have. We ask for your payroll records and a list of who you paid. Then we check the details, prepare the forms, and file them. If you are behind or made a mistake in the past, we can also talk about back filing or amended returns. We keep the steps clear and ask for what we need as we go.

Our Process

  1. Share your payroll records, payment lists, and worker details with us.
  2. We review each worker and check if they should get a W-2 or a 1099.
  3. We collect any missing names, addresses, and tax ID numbers.
  4. We prepare the forms and check the totals against your records.
  5. We file the forms with the IRS and get copies ready for your workers.
  6. We talk with you about next steps if past forms need to be fixed or filed.
