This article contains information about forms available from Forms CS that can be used for printing Forms W-2, W-3, 1094-C, 1095-C, 1096, and 1099. You can save your firm time and money by ordering the correct forms, in an appropriate quantity, from Forms CS.

The forms in Accounting CS are aligned for use with the various form stock available from Forms CS. We can't guarantee perfect alignment to other vendors' forms or to government preprinted forms.

Submitting forms electronically

Before you order forms, keep in mind that you can use Accounting CS to produce files that can be submitted electronically, rather than printing paper copies, for Federal Copy A (and the accompanying W-3 / 1096 form) and the Agency Copy of Form 1095-C (and the accompanying 1094-C form).
