MAG‑FILER prints forms in the following formats.

Laser-created facsimiles of all official IRS and SSA forms.

These are identical to the official forms and use HP LaserJet printers on blank perforated paper.  MAG-FILER also has formatted 2, 3, and 4 copies for particular forms using blank perforated paper.  Use these forms for sending the Payer, Payee, and state copies.   These forms CANNOT be used for paper filing to the IRS and SSA with the exception of SSA black and white laser created Copy A of W-2’s and W3’s.

Laser-created “Substitutes” Copy B’s for Forms 1097, 1098 series, 1098 series, 1099 series, 3921, 3922, and  5498 series.

These are printed with the Payer and Payee address on the top third of the page, so they will appear in the correct position when the form is folded in thirds and inserted into a standard business single window envelope. The form itself appears in the middle third of the page, and form’s instructions appear in the bottom third.  Use these forms for sending to Payees requiring only Copy B.

These substitutes are designed to print on LaserJet, DeskJet, and Inkjet printers. Like MAG‑FILER laser-printed facsimiles, laser-printed substitute forms are not acceptable for paper filing to the IRS.

Official pre-printed IRS and SSA forms.

An Official form can consist of Copies A, B, C, etc. where MAG-FILER places only data on a pre-printed form.  Use these forms for IRS/SSA filing and Payer, Payee, and state copies.  Pre-printed forms are available from approved vendors, and are acceptable by the IRS and SSA for paper filing.

To print forms, follow these steps:

1. Display the desired Payer/Filing type (Filing types = MISC, INT, etc.) on the Payer Information detail window, and then click on the Payees button. The Payee Information list window is displayed.
2. Click on the Print button. The Print Format window appears:

Format

Select the copy of the form to print laser created facsimiles.  

To print to official pre-printed forms, such as Copy A, B, etc., click the Pre-Printed Forms  (displays a checkmark).  Ignore Copies B-E if checked.  Data will print to the form regardless of which copy is selected.  

1096 Printing 

      1096 pre-printed official form  - select the form choice under Print and check the pre-printed forms box.  

      1096 laser created for File Copies ONLY - select Print and do not check the pre-printed forms box.  The laser created 1096 cannot be used to send to the IRS.

      1096 pre-printed corrected form  Click Filter then Corrected payees. Once your list is filterd Click Print and Paper Filing 1096 Transmittal.

W3 Printing - To print W3 pre-printed official forms click Print and check the pre-printed forms box.   Printing a W3 without checking the pre-printed forms box will print a black and white laser created copy used with the W-2 Copy A B/W format that is acceptable for paper filing to the SSA. 

Form copies can be printed on blank perforated paper, regular blank laser printer paper, or official pre-printed IRS and SSA forms. Blank perforated paper (some with instructions on the back) and official forms can be ordered from a forms supplier. The specific types of copies that can be printed vary for the different form types.  See copies summarized in the following:

Copies B – E can either be printed to blank perforated paper for laser created printing or printed to pre-printed forms ordered from a supplier.
