The 1099 ETC Advanced Micro Solutions provides the 1099 software which has, for over twenty-five years, been changing the ways that small businesses regard tax and payroll operations. What began as a simple 1099 and W-2 form filing program has now flourished into the 1099 ETC tax/payroll preparation 1099 software suite, available at an affordable price. The 1099 software providers of Advanced Micro Solutions were initially incorporated in 1985 as Edmond Software, Inc., which was based in Edmond, Oklahoma, and started by a software engineer and CPA who saw the need for a payroll/W-2 1099 program such as the 1099 ETC. The envisioned 1099 software, the 1099 ETC, would be able to handle the complete spectrum of payroll related processing from W-2/1099 preparation to the post fact payroll to live payroll for large and small clients. In 1986 the first version of the 1099 software, 1099 ETC, was developed and marketed to accounting firms nationwide. The 1099 ETC company quickly grew from the original two employees with a few hundred customers to the fifteen employees with the more than 12,000 customers it has today.

The thriving company has become one of the country's most respected payroll 1099 software package providers and continues to develop, refine and market 1099 ETC as one of the best rated payroll software packages for professional tax preparers. The 1099 ETC is a potent 1099 payroll software package that allows the preparing of 1099, 941, 940, W-2, W-2C, W-3, W-3C and all state quarterly unemployment forms. The 1099 ETC also supports the after the fact and live payroll, electronic filing, and so much more. Preparing year-end forms has never been easier and the 1099 software product can be customized to fit specific needs. The 1099 ETC can be installed on a network and multiple PCs (site license applies). If customers experience any problems with the installation of the 1099 software the customer support service stands ready to assist. One of the remedies suggested is that the customer should download and install the latest version of the 1099 ETC software to correct a problem.

To install the 1099 ETC customers should be aware that the 1099 software system requirements include Windows 2000 or higher, 16MB of RAM, up to 30MB of free hard disk space, which is dependent upon installed options, and a screen resolution of 800x600. A valid Internet connection for the installation is also necessary. The 1099 ETC software must be purchased for each tax year the customer plans to process forms. The 1099 software is designed specifically for each individual tax year to ensure that forms are accurate and up-to-date. Government agencies alter tax forms and laws frequently and the providers of the 1099 ETC work year round to ensure that these amendments are added to the 1099 software as quickly as possible. The 1099 ETC software has payroll, tax and unemployment forms for each state as well as Washington DC and Puerto Rico.
