Most online payroll platforms automatically generate and file year-end tax forms for your business.
These include W-2 forms for employees, 1099-NEC forms for contractors, and Form 940/941 for the IRS. Platforms like Gusto, ADP, and Paychex prepare and file these documents electronically and mail copies directly to your employees or contractors.
You’ll typically receive a dashboard notification when forms are ready to review, file, or distribute. Some services also offer electronic delivery options, enabling employees to download their forms securely through self-service portals.
Using online payroll systems for year-end compliance helps ensure you meet all tax deadlines and reduces the administrative burden during a busy time of year.
