Built to Scale with Your Firm

Whether your firm manages 10 clients or 1,000, Thomas Ledger handles the volume. Our infrastructure is designed for the demands of professional tax practices that need to file thousands of forms under tight deadlines.

Unlimited client workspaces — Add new clients at any time without hitting account limits or paying for additional seats.
Batch filing — Submit hundreds of 1099 forms to the IRS in a single operation, reducing hours of repetitive work to minutes.
CSV bulk import — Upload recipient data from your practice management or accounting software. Map columns to form fields and import entire client datasets at once. Learn more about our bulk import capabilities.
Real-time status tracking — Monitor submission status across all clients from a centralized dashboard.

1099 + ACA Filing Under One Roof

If your firm serves Applicable Large Employer clients (50+ FTE), the same Thomas Ledger account that handles their 1099s also files their ACA 1094-C and 1095-C returns. One vendor, one engagement, one audit trail across both information-return obligations — and your client's 1099 filing for the year is included free at ACA Filer Pro+ ($1,500 / 101–250 FTEs and above).

See ACA Filing for the product details, ACA for ALE Employers for the threshold and controlled-group rules your firm should screen clients against, and the pricing page for the bundle math.

Compliance Confidence for Every Filing

IRS requirements evolve, and CPA firms cannot afford to fall behind. Thomas Ledger keeps your filings aligned with current regulations.

Up-to-date form support — We update form layouts and field requirements each tax year so your filings are always current.
TIN matching — Verify taxpayer identification numbers against IRS records before submitting to reduce the likelihood of B-notices and penalties.
Automatic validation — The platform checks for missing fields, formatting errors, and threshold issues before any form is submitted.
Deadline tracking — View upcoming IRS deadlines for each form type directly in your dashboard. See our complete deadline reference.
Penalty avoidance — Catch errors early and file on time. Review our guide on 1099 penalties to understand what is at stake.

Multi-Client Management Designed for Firms

Organize your 1099 work by client, track progress across engagements, and access historical filings whenever you need them.

Client Dashboard

See filing status, recipient counts, and outstanding items for every client at a glance. Filter and sort by deadline, status, or form type.

Per-Client Records

Each client workspace maintains its own recipient list, filing history, and document archive. Access prior-year filings without searching through shared folders.

Client-Level Reporting

Generate filing summaries and recipient reports for individual clients. Export data for your own records or for client deliverables.

CPA firms rarely have just one person handling 1099 work. Thomas Ledger supports team-based workflows with the controls you need to maintain oversight.

Multiple user accounts — Invite team members to collaborate on filings across clients.
Role-based permissions — Assign roles that control who can view, edit, and submit filings. Keep sensitive data accessible only to authorized staff.
Audit trail — Track who made changes, when forms were submitted, and which team member handled each client.

Reporting and Record Keeping

Maintain thorough records for every filing season. Thomas Ledger provides the reporting tools CPA firms need for internal tracking and client communication.

Filing summaries — Download summary reports showing all forms filed, amounts reported, and IRS acceptance status.
Recipient copies — Generate print-ready or electronic recipient copies to fulfill distribution requirements.
Export capabilities — Export filing data to CSV for integration with your practice management tools.
Historical access — Prior-year filings remain accessible in your account for reference, amendments, or audit support.

Thomas Ledger is designed to fit into your existing workflow, not replace it. Import data from the tools you already use and export results back as needed.

CSV import from any accounting or practice management platform
Structured data export for downstream processing
Consistent field mapping that you can save and reuse each filing season

Frequently Asked Questions

Can multiple team members access the platform?

Yes. You can invite as many team members as your firm needs. Each user gets their own login credentials, and all activity is tracked in an audit trail so you maintain full visibility into who is doing what across client filings.

Do you support role-based permissions?

The platform offers role-based access controls that let you define who can view, edit, or submit filings for each client. This ensures sensitive data is only accessible to authorized staff, supporting your firm's internal compliance requirements. Learn more about our security features.

How do we handle corrections after filing?

If you need to correct a form after it has been submitted, you can file a corrected 1099 directly through the platform. The system walks you through the correction process and resubmits the updated form to the IRS via IRIS.

Can we import data from our accounting software?

You can export recipient and payment data from your practice management or accounting system as a CSV file and upload it directly into the platform. Field mapping is customizable and can be saved for reuse each filing season. See our bulk filing page for details.

Is there a volume discount for large firms?

Yes. We offer tiered pricing that reduces the per-form cost as your filing volume increases. This makes the platform cost-effective for firms filing hundreds or thousands of 1099s each season. Visit our pricing page for tier details.
