eComply 1099 Added to Fast-Tax Offerings

Fast-Tax started 30 years ago with a simple idea: to automate tax compliance. Since then, nearly every major banking institution in the United States has entrusted Fast-Tax to provide secure software and services in support of their tax reporting responsibilities, processing 1.7 million returns annually. Our business practice today is built on the strengths that have brought us success over the last three decades.

This year, we added the eComply 1099 compliance product to the Fast-Tax family. eComply was developed to help you get more done, in less time with better results than ever before. Its a flexible, Web-based solution for your entire organization.

Whether you have thousands or millions of information returns to process, eComply provides a cost-effective solution you wont outgrow. eComply saves time and resources by centralizing your reporting data, easily updating your payee information, and providing all your offices, departments, or teams with a quick and efficient way to answer payee inquiries. Authorized users can access and update the database regardless of location, and can support recipients 24/7 with access to information anywhere, anytime.

With eComply, you can import files downloaded from various mainframe, mini- and micro-computer applications such as Accounts Payable, Claims, Medical, Agents and Brokers, Annuities, Policy-holders, Employee Benefits, IRA, Mortgage, and Trust. And, by offloading data storage and management, along with most processing tasks, to Fast-Tax, youll eliminate many time-consuming tasks, as well as the costly maintenance of software installations and upgrades. All software, security and database functions are maintained at our state-of-the-art data center, which employs the latest technology to provide the highest level of data integrity and security.
