FAQ
A filer is an individual or entity that is required to file information returns with the IRS or other agencies. This can include businesses, non-profits, and other organizations.
In most cases, this will be you—whether you’re a business, employer, or organization reporting tax or compliance information to the IRS, SSA, FinCEN or any other regulatory body.
A recipient is an individual or entity that receives a form from a filer and whose information is being reported. This can include employees, contractors, vendors, or other parties that you pay or provide benefits to.

No. A 1096 is not required as we file electronically with the IRS. The 1096 is a summary form that is only required when filing paper forms. Hooray, less paperwork!
