You control which forms to submit and when.

Don’t worry if you don’t have all of the information for all of your recipients. Just complete what you can and allow forms to accumulate in ‘Unfiled Forms’ until you’re ready.

Submitting forms is flexible too! Submit in batches by payer or form type, or any way that’s convenient.

Once you decide to check out, it works just like any shopping website. Add or remove forms from the cart as needed.

You pay only when you submit forms. Setting up an account and entering data is FREE!
