Frequently Asked Questions
What does TaxBandits check during the audit process?
TaxBandits uses the latest IRS-approved automated audit system. Every return is checked against IRS Business Rules and Field Validations. If we detect any errors, we show them so you can correct and resubmit the form.
Our built-in audit helps reduce potential rejections by validating all required fields. However, it does not guarantee IRS or SSA acceptance. Only the IRS/SSA can make the final decision on your return.
Can I use my TaxBandits account for multiple businesses?
Yes. You can use one TaxBandits account to file for multiple businesses. Simply add each business (payer) to your Address Book and select the correct one when filing. Once added, it stays saved for future filings.
Can I pay and transmit forms for multiple businesses in one order?
Yes, You can pay and transmit forms for multiple businesses in one order by selecting your in-progress payers from the 1099/W2 section, choosing them on the Form Summary page, and proceeding to checkout.
My 1099s were rejected by the IRS. Can I retransmit in TaxBandits?
Yes. If your 1099 forms were rejected for errors, you can correct and retransmit them at no additional cost, as long as you filed the original return with TaxBandits.
If the IRS rejected your 1099 as a duplicate filing, no retransmission is required.
