The 1099 ETC company of Advanced Micro Solutions was founded by a software engineer and a CPA who saw the need for a W2 software program. The 1099 ETC Advanced Micro Solutions has, for over twenty-five years, provided the simplest and most affordable W2 software for small businesses to prepare all form requirements. What started out as a simple 1099 and W2 form filing program has grown into the 1099 ETC preparation 1099 and W2 software suite. The first version of the W2 software, 1099 ETC, was developed and marketed to accounting firms nationwide in 1986 and the company quickly grew from the original two employees with a few hundred customers to the fifteen employees with more than 12,000 customers it has today. The company continues to develop, refine and market the 1099 ETC, which is one of the best rated W2 software solutions for professional tax preparers.

1099 ETC W2 software prepares W2s, all 1099s and several other forms for year-end tax/ payroll processing and the W2/1099 Forms Filer has an easy to use menu-driven format which simplifies the selection of payers and forms. The 1099 ETC W2/1099 Forms Filer is considered the base program and is required to use any other module of the 1099 software suite, including the after the fact payroll and E File options. The W2 software enables the printing of client letters, recipient lists and mailing labels, payer information only needs to be entered once, and a description of the current field is displayed at the top of the forms. The data is automatically saved when a new form or record is accessed, ensuring that data is never lost. The 1099 ETC is a powerful W2 software package which allows the preparing of 1099, 941, 940, W-2, W-2C, W-3, W-3C and all state quarterly unemployment forms. The 1099 ETC W2 E File options make 1099 and W2 form processing fast and less expensive. 1099 ETC provides direct unlimited E file 1099/W2 forms filed to the IRS/SSA and E File volume based filing to the IRS/SSA/State.

Both services allow the mailing of confirmation to the recipient or the client. Preparation of year end forms has never been easier and the W2 software also supports all 50 states and the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. The 1099 ETC W2 software can be installed on a network and multiple PCs (site license applies). If customers experience any problems with the installation of the W2 software the customer support service of Advanced Micro Solutions stands ready to assist. The installation of the W2 software, 1099 ETC, requires Windows 2000 or higher, 16MB of RAM, up to 30MB of free hard disk space, which is dependent upon installed options, a screen resolution of 800x600, and a valid Internet connection. 1099 ETC W2 software must be purchased for each tax year to ensure the accuracy of forms. Laws and tax forms are frequently changed by government agencies and amendments have to be included in the new 1099 ETC software each year.
