Tired of complicated and inefficient e-filing tools? So was I. eFileBuddy was born from my own frustrations with the 1099-NEC process. In my accounting practice, we filed 300–400 forms each year for 40–50 clients, and it usually went something like this:

  1. Send reminders and worksheets.

  2. Chase down missing or outdated details.

  3. Dig through prior years’ records and data.

  4. Piece together scribbled notes, texts, or late emails.

  5. Double-check everything for accuracy before filing.

  6. Handle endless requests for reprints or amendments.

It was repetitive, time-consuming, and always hit right at the start of tax season—when I was already swamped. I knew there had to be a better way, but I couldn't find a solution on the market.

That’s why I built eFileBuddy: to simplify and streamline 1099-NEC filing from start to finish. Whether it’s a handful of forms across several clients or hundreds each season, eFileBuddy makes the process faster, cleaner, and far less stressful.

Here’s how it works:

  • Clients enter their contractor details in their secure portal and request “Accountant filing” with a click.

  • You simply review and file—cutting down on errors, back-and-forth emails, and wasted time.

  • Clients can retrieve past 1099 forms anytime and instantly resend them to contractors.

Prefer a hands-on approach? eFileBuddy also supports a Hybrid option, where accountants manage filings on behalf of clients while gradually moving them into the portal. This flexibility allows you to collaborate smoothly, reduce headaches, and reclaim valuable time.

At its core, eFileBuddy gives accountants options: work fully automated or hybrid—whichever fits your style—while staying compliant, accurate, and efficient.

I’m excited to share this platform with you, and I welcome your feedback as we continue to grow.

Put your 1099s on autopilot—and cruise into peace of mind.
