Have you efiled 1099s this year

[Pacun]

I have two clients that file 1099s (No W-2s). I have efiled in the past but this year I heard that ATX is going to charge us. I gave one of them the envelope and ask that person to mail it. I have just sent the efile from the other's client 1096 and 1099s to ATX and I wonder at what point they will charge me.

Has any one used the efile feature on payroll 2015 and paid or not paid ATX?

ATX said they'd charge us this year $1.50 per 1096 efiled.  In early March they posted on their blog that they'd initiate the charges for those 1096 forms efiled through them; I have yet to see any charges on my credit card for that nor any other correspondence on it.  IMO $1.50 per is a pittance in the grand scheme of things.  Nelco charged me upward of $1.89 per W2 efiled with the State of Louisiana.

I only e-file 1099's.  I only electronically transfer W-2s.  One main and overriding reason.  ACKNOWLEDGMENT.  If there is ever a question by the IRS, only electronic acknowledgment will be accepted as proof of filing. 

This also goes for extensions.

I efiled a few about 2 weeks ago. Have not seen any charges yet.
