Ask HN: What do companies use to generate and mail 1099 form to their users?

1 points by d7y 5y ago ↗ HN

Companies are required to send 1099 forms to their users meeting certain criteria.

For example:

  - Uber: https://www.uber.com/us/en/drive/tax-information/tax-documents/
  - Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.ca/help/article/414/should-i-expect-to-receive-a-tax-form-from-airbnb
  - Etsy: https://help.etsy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000336447-Will-I-Receive-a-1099-K-Tax-Form-From-Etsy-?segment=selling
  - Square: https://squareup.com/help/us/en/article/5048-1099-k-overview

What do companies use to generate and mail 1099s? Do they mail themselves, or do they contract out to tax compliance agencies? What are some modern tax compliance agencies offering this service?
