Bookkeeping for ALE Clients? File Their ACA Too

When a client crosses 50 FTE, you have an ACA 1094-C / 1095-C obligation in addition to their 1099s. Thomas Ledger files both from the same account, and at ACA Filer Pro+ ($1,500 / 101–250 FTEs and above) that year's 1099 filing is included free. See ACA Filing and ACA for ALE Employers for the threshold details.

1099 Filing Without the Complexity

You should not need a tax software certification to file 1099s for your clients. Thomas Ledger strips away the unnecessary complexity and gives you a clean, guided experience from data entry to IRS submission.

Guided form entry — Step-by-step screens walk you through each form, so you know exactly what information is needed and where it goes.
Plain-language validation — When something needs attention, you get clear explanations — not cryptic error codes.
No installation required — Thomas Ledger runs entirely in your browser. Log in from any device, anywhere.
Quick start — Create an account, add a client, enter recipients, and file. Most bookkeepers complete their first filing in under 15 minutes.

Designed for How Bookkeepers Work

Bookkeepers juggle multiple clients, tight schedules, and varied data sources. Thomas Ledger fits into that reality rather than adding to the burden.

Familiar Data Entry

Enter payer and recipient information using straightforward forms. If you can fill out a spreadsheet, you can use Thomas Ledger.

CSV Upload Option

Already have recipient data in a spreadsheet? Upload it directly via CSV and let the platform handle the rest. See our bulk import guide for details.

Form Type Selection

Choose between 1099-NEC and 1099-MISC based on the type of payment. Not sure which to use? Our comparison guide can help.

Electronic Filing

Submit forms to the IRS electronically through the IRIS system. No printing, mailing, or trips to the post office.

Manage Multiple Clients with Ease

Even if you only handle a handful of clients, keeping their 1099 data organized matters. Thomas Ledger gives you a clean workspace for each one.

Separate client workspaces — Keep each client's recipients, filings, and records in their own space. No mixing data between clients.
At-a-glance status — See which clients are complete, which have pending forms, and which need attention — all from your main dashboard.
Reusable recipient data — Recipients you added last year carry over, so next filing season starts with data already in place.

Affordable Pricing for Bookkeeping Practices

You should not have to pay enterprise prices for straightforward 1099 filing. Thomas Ledger offers transparent, per-form pricing with no monthly subscription fees and no hidden costs.

Pay per filing — Only pay for the forms you actually submit. No upfront commitment.
No subscription required — Use the platform when you need it without ongoing charges during the rest of the year.
Volume discounts available — As your practice grows, your per-form cost goes down.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need tax expertise to use this platform?

No. The platform uses guided form entry with plain-language prompts that walk you through each step. If you can fill out a spreadsheet, you can file a 1099. Our features overview shows how the process works from start to finish.

Can I file for multiple clients from one account?

Yes. You can create separate client workspaces within a single account, each with its own recipient data and filing history. There is no limit on the number of clients you can manage. See our multi-client filing page for details.

What if I make a mistake on a filing?

The platform validates all data before submission to catch errors early. If a mistake is discovered after filing, you can submit a corrected 1099 directly through the platform, which resubmits the updated form to the IRS via the IRIS system.

How long does it take to file a 1099?

Most bookkeepers complete their first filing in under 15 minutes. If you upload recipient data via CSV, the process is even faster since you can file in bulk rather than entering each form individually.

What support is available if I need help?
