Now available with PDF electronic printing, ezW2 software for W2 and 1099 preparation contains several features for cutting paper consumption and reducing waste, making for a more environmentally friendly tax season.

Los Angeles, CA -- (SBWire) -- 01/17/2011 -- With all the forms and paperwork necessary, tax season may be the most environmentally unfriendly part of the year for businesses.

But ezW2, the Form 1099 & W2 printing software from halfpricesoft.com, adds a little Green to this bleak season with electronic PDF printing and paper-saving features that save time, money and the environment.

Developed by Halfpricesoft.com, ezW2 is simple and robust software that prepares and prints 1099 and W2 forms. Known for its ease of use and affordability, ezW2 is available online at http://www.halfpricesoft.com/w2_software.asp

The 2010 edition of ezW2 also saves businesses money and reduces waste associated with tax form preparation in three ways:

- New to the 2010 edition: ezW2 electronically prints W2’s, 1099’s and other forms in portable document format (PDF) for delivery to employees and vendors by email or other electronic means, eliminating the need for unnecessary paper copies.

- Ability to print Social Security Administration-approved substitute Form W2 on plain white paper - No need for expensive red-ink forms (ezW2 also avoids waste of red-ink forms already in stock with the ability to print data on pre-printed red-ink forms).

- Prints two W2 or 1099 forms per page, cutting paper consumption in half.

"Electronic delivery of documents is clearly more earth friendly than printing and mailing paper documents. Even the federal government recognizes this and is accepting more and more tax information and business forms by electronic means,” said Halfprice.com founder Dr. Ge. “We added the PDF and other paper-saving printing features to assist small businesses in their sustainable business practices."

ezW2 also saves businesses time by eliminating the learning curve often associated with financial and tax software. The user-friendly interface is intuitive and designed to get users up and running immediately upon installation. Engineered with the non-accountant in mind, ezW2 software guides users step-by-step through data entry and form preparation.
