CheckMark 1099

More often than not, payroll taxes do not only impact the total wage expenses incurred by your employer, but they also account for your personal tax liability and determine your taxable income.

CheckMark 1099 is a small application designed to help you calculate the taxes you owe and simplify the filling in of various forms required by the regulatory institutions and local authorities.

While the installation is quick and smooth, you should know that the app gives a warning not to change the location of the database to prevent errors. Upon launch, you are asked about the database that you want to load and start working on.

The UI looks plain and unappealing, whereas the colors and shapes used are old-fashioned. Even though you can change the size of the font for the listings, the overall appearance of the program does not improve too much.

On the other hand, it is worth mentioning that the information displayed is clear and you will not have a hard time navigating or finding a piece of data you are interested in.

The idea behind the app is that you can create or import a database that includes a plethora of companies and recipients. The program can lend a hand with managing your business partners and staff, as it allows you to process taxation forms easily.

As its name suggests, the program is designed to simplify the processing of a limited number of forms, namely 1099-MISC, 1099-INT, 1099-DIV, 1099-R and 1099-S.

Although it works with just a few forms, you should keep in mind that the app can make the documents available in blank paper or pre-print and you do not require a database server to use it.

Even though it is not a looker and it works with 1099 forms only, CheckMark 1099 can make your life easier, especially when you are swamped with work and have dozens of files to fill in and sent in a relatively short time.
