Louisville, KY -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/07/2012 -- Preparing W-2 and 1099 tax reports should not be a nightmare for employers. Responding to the requests from users, the new ezW2 software from Halfpricesoft.com now includes an updated user interface with form level help buttons. An update to the installation package also allows the software to be installed on computers with limited user permissions.

The latest updates to ezW2 make installation and use of this tax software easier on a greater range of computers. This new Edition of w2 and 1099 printing software also allows users to set up unlimited companies, add unlimited recipients and print unlimited W2/1099 tax forms easily and smoothly at just $39.

EzW2 2007 to 2011 editions can print the SSA-Approved laser substitute forms of w-2 copy A and w-3 on plain paper. So if user has a laser printer, he can print all W-2 forms (Copy A, B, C, D, 1 and 2) and W-3 on plain white paper with the new $39 basic version. This new white paper printing feature speeds up the W-2 filing for the last minute users.

IRS does not certify the laser substitute forms right now. Users need to use the red-ink forms for 1099 MISC copy A and 1096. Users can print other 1099 forms (copy 1, 2, B and C) on plain paper. The new ezW2 supports 2-red-form-per-sheet printing feature and helps users cut cost on the expensive pre-printed forms.

"We intentionally engineered this W2 and 1099 form software for those end-users who are not professional accountants and payroll tax experts," explains Dr. Ge, President and Founder of halfpricesoft.com. "You don't even need to have much knowledge of computers. We believe small business software should be simple - stupid simple - so that owners can focus their time and energy on running their businesses, not trying to figure out how to run payroll software."
