Creating 1099's - Fees to Charge

[ETax847]

What do people generally charge to create a 1099 for a client? $20 per 1099?

Need to create 30 for said client, but do not want to charge a less than competitive rate. Please advise

Rates are hugely dependent on your area and what kind of practice you have.

Keep track of time expended and charge an hourly rate. Some clients give you everything ready to go and you can crank out 20-30 in a short period of time, including cross checking and submitting the IRS copies. Others could take hours for the same task if their records are sloppy.

I'd charge $5 per 1099 for this volume, assuming client is well organized, and $10 for the 1096 and mailing to IRS. Yes, I still do that.

I don't imagine I would ever see that client again if I charged $600 for 30 1099's. But I'm in TN.

I'd charge more if client records were a mess. Or delivered in batches. Even though you wait till you have everything, batch clients waste your time.

$15 FOR 1096, $5 per person, etc plus additional $5 per phone call or W-9 we have to retrieve for them - never had to but man some of them this year!

$40 for the first 2 and the 1096, $8 each additional if I'm doing them from scratch. If it's already in QuickBooks AND in good shape, $30/$6.

I generally charge $15 per recipient. Corrections (or additions after the e-file has been sent in) go to $20 each. One guy, who despite just-about-weekly reminders all year did not get me any info on 2012 1099s until *November* 2013, got charged $45 each.

$10 a pop

I charge $20 for 1 or 2 and then $2 for each additional 1099 if I'm given a list with info on it. I don't charge extra for the 1096.

Thanks guys! Great feedback as always.
