What it is
BoomTax provides online e-filing for 1099, W-2, and ACA forms. Users can import tax data, distribute recipient copies by mail or electronic delivery, and file with the IRS, SSA, and state agencies. Before filing, the service offers data validation, TIN matching against IRS records, EIN verification, and error detection. Supported ACA forms include 1094-B/1095-B and 1094-C/1095-C. Data can be brought in using Excel templates or direct integrations with accounting and payroll platforms such as QuickBooks Online, Xero, ADP, Workday, and others. Its REST API supports JSON form submission, pre-submission validation, status tracking, and PDF creation for recipient copies. BoomTax says it is SOC 2 Type II certified and encrypts data in transit and at rest using 256-bit encryption. Its e-filing workflow does not require customers to have their own IRS/SSA account or TCC. Recipient options include print-and-mail service, e-delivery with consent collection, and self-service PDF printing. Users can create an account and import data for free, but payment is required to e-file, download, or print forms. The service is available on web and API.
