File Form 709 with Ease
Gifting cash, property, or assets above the annual exclusion is still a reportable event even when no tax is owed. TaxBandits walks you through Form 709 step by step with plain language instructions and built-in validations to keep your filing accurate.
File 1099-NEC and MISC Without Complexity
Paying a contractor, freelancer, or handyman $600 or more is a reportable payment, and the IRS expects a 1099.
TaxBandits guides you through every field, validates your data against IRS rules, and transmits directly. No prior tax knowledge needed.
Request Your Personal Tax Extension in Minutes
Filing Form 4868 (for your 1040) or Form 8892 (for your gift tax return) before the deadline gets you an automatic extension on the corresponding filing.
It takes minutes, eliminates late-filing penalties, and gives you the breathing room to get your documents together accurately.
Collect and Manage W-9s for Free
Before filing a 1099, you need your contractor's tax information.
TaxBandits lets you request, collect, and store W-9 and W-8 forms directly from your account, completely free, with no manual follow-up needed.
Resolve Them Without the Panic
A CP2100 or any other IRS notice always needs a response, and ignoring it only makes it worse.
Upload, track, and manage your notices directly from your TaxBandits account without hiring an accountant or dealing with unnecessary back-and-forth.

Frequently Asked Questions
Creating an account on TaxBandits is completely free. No setup fees, no subscription charges. You only pay the applicable service fee when you file a form.
If you paid a contractor, freelancer, or individual $600 or more for services related to your rental property, side work, or any trade or business activity, you are required to file a 1099-NEC by January 31 of the following tax year.
If you paid $600 or more in rent, royalties, prizes, or other miscellaneous income to an individual or entity in the course of your business or rental activity, Form 1099-MISC is required. Payments to corporations are generally exempt.
If you gave gifts to any one person exceeding the annual exclusion amount, you are required to file Form 709 even if no gift tax is actually owed. It is a reporting requirement, not necessarily a tax bill.
Gift splitting allows married couples to treat a gift made by one spouse as if each gave half, effectively doubling the annual exclusion. If you and your spouse elect gift splitting, both of you are required to file Form 709 for that tax year, regardless of who made the gift.
Filing Form 4868 before April 15 gets you an automatic 6-month extension on your individual return. If you need more time for your gift tax return, Form 8892 extends that deadline. Neither form extends the time to pay any taxes owed.
Yes. You can add as many recipients as needed under a single payer. For larger volumes, TaxBandits supports bulk upload so you can import all contractor data at once rather than entering each record manually.
TIN matching validates your contractor's taxpayer identification number against IRS records before you file. A mismatched TIN is one of the most common triggers for a CP2100 notice. Catching it before submission saves you from penalties and corrections down the line.
Yes. TaxBandits supports free corrections and retransmission for previously filed 1099 forms. You can make corrections directly from your account and retransmit to the IRS without starting over.
