Sovos Categories and Features
Unclaimed Property Software
Sovos assists organizations in locating, monitoring, and reporting unclaimed assets to various states across the U.S. The platform conducts dormancy assessments, dispatches due diligence notifications to property owners, produces reports formatted for NAUPA compliance, and facilitates electronic filing with state agencies. Each state establishes its own rules regarding dormancy periods, exemptions, and deadlines for reporting. Relying on spreadsheets to manage property can lead to missed deadlines, state investigations, penalties, and accrued interest. Sovos streamlines this process by offering structured workflows and integrated guidance on state regulations, indicating what needs to be reported and the appropriate timing. With automated due diligence notifications, you can proactively contact property owners before assets are escheated. ReportMyUP, a service from Sovos, ensures compliance with NAUPA requirements across all 50+ U.S. jurisdictions and allows for effortless electronic filing in over 30 states. Additionally, a comprehensive audit trail keeps your filing records organized and accessible for any inquiries from state authorities. Begin your journey in managing unclaimed assets and escheatment reporting with Sovos today.
Tax Compliance Software
Sovos provides a comprehensive tax compliance solution that streamlines the management of indirect taxes, information reporting, identity verification, and unclaimed property all within a single platform. This enables organizations to efficiently handle various obligations including sales and use tax, VAT, e-invoicing, as well as forms like 1099, W-2, 1042-S, and ACA filings, TIN matching, and escheatment reporting—eliminating the need for multiple vendors. Given the ever-evolving nature of tax regulations across federal, state, and international levels, using disconnected tools often leads to data duplication, manual reconciliation efforts, and incomplete audit trails. Sovos addresses these challenges by consolidating your tax data and regulatory information into a unified data model, ensuring that your records are consistent and readily available for review. The platform’s Sovos Regulatory Graph and Sovi AI seamlessly link regulatory changes with your transactional data. Sovos also ensures compliance with IRIS-ready federal filings, accommodates real-time CTC mandates, and offers various integration options including API, SFTP, and ERP systems. All data is managed in accordance with SOC 2 and ISO 27001 standards for security and reliability.
Sales Tax Software
Sovos streamlines the process of sales and use tax compliance for companies operating in various U.S. states and local areas. It determines the accurate tax rate during transactions, monitors economic nexus thresholds, oversees exemption certificates, and facilitates the preparation and filing of returns, all from a single platform. Given that sales tax regulations are continually evolving and each state establishes its own rates, taxability criteria, and filing timelines, relying on manual rate tables and spreadsheets can lead to errors, overlooked filings, and increased risk of audits. Sovos ensures that your tax content is always up-to-date, adapting to changes in jurisdictions to keep your rates and rules current. Sovos seamlessly integrates with ERP, billing, and e-commerce platforms, allowing tax calculations to occur within your existing workflows. This way, your transaction data, returns, and documentation are consolidated in one easily auditable location. Simplify your sales and use tax compliance with Sovos.
Crypto Tax Software
Sovos provides essential support for digital asset brokers, exchanges, and financial institutions to navigate the complexities of cryptocurrency tax reporting. Brokers are required to report sales and exchanges of digital assets to the IRS using Form 1099-DA. Initially, this involves reporting gross proceeds, with cost basis reporting being integrated in subsequent years. The introduction of digital asset reporting complicates the filing process due to high transaction volumes, the need for new types of forms, and stringent taxpayer identification requirements. Sovos streamlines this process by offering a comprehensive workflow that facilitates the collection and validation of customer TINs, preparation of 1099-DA and associated information returns, IRS filing via IRIS, and distribution of copies to recipients. With integrated Name/TIN matching, Sovos helps identify discrepancies before submission, thereby minimizing the risk of B-Notices and backup withholding complications. For organizations with a global reach, Sovos accommodates various digital asset reporting regulations, including DAC8 and CARF. Get ready for efficient digital asset reporting with Sovos.
Corporate Tax Software
Sovos provides essential support for businesses in fulfilling their ongoing tax reporting requirements beyond just income tax. This includes responsibilities like information reporting, withholding, and necessary regulatory submissions. Finance and tax departments utilize Sovos to efficiently handle the filing of forms such as 1099, W-2, 1042-S, and ACA, as well as to verify payee information, screen counterparties, and maintain comprehensive records that stand up to audits. Corporate tax teams often grapple with overlapping federal, state, and international regulations, frequently using disparate tools that can lead to mistakes and complicate audit readiness. Sovos streamlines these processes by consolidating all obligations into a single platform with a unified data model, ensuring that you operate from one consistent source of information. Furthermore, Sovos facilitates compliance with FATCA validation, OFAC and Death Master File screenings, and federal filing that meets IRIS requirements. All data is managed within SOC 2 and ISO 27001 accredited data centers. Simplify your corporate tax reporting with Sovos.
More Sovos Categories
W-2
Sovos equips employers and payroll departments with the tools necessary to prepare, verify, submit, and distribute Form W-2 efficiently. You can easily import wage data, ensure accurate employee information, file with the Social Security Administration and relevant state agencies, and deliver employee copies through print, mail, or electronic delivery. The deadline for W-2 submissions is January 31, which applies to both filing with the SSA and providing copies to employees. Relying on manual processes and making late corrections can result in penalties and added workload during peak times. Sovos performs error checks prior to submission, enabling you to address issues before they are sent to the SSA or state agencies. In addition to W-2 and W-2c corrections, Sovos also facilitates state wage reporting and manages 1099, 1042-S, and ACA forms within a single workflow. Smaller teams can utilize eFileMyForms for individual form submissions, while larger organizations may opt for 1099Pro Cloud, which allows for bulk importing and supports unlimited users. Begin your W-2 filing journey with Sovos today.
VAT Compliance
Sovos provides comprehensive solutions for businesses to navigate VAT compliance, e-invoicing, and periodic VAT reporting on a global scale. Our platform enables you to adhere to continuous transaction control (CTC) regulations, allowing you to transmit real-time invoice information to tax authorities and efficiently file VAT returns and reports, including SAF-T. As countries transition from traditional periodic VAT reporting to real-time e-invoicing and digital reporting, each jurisdiction presents unique requirements regarding formats, timelines, and clearance processes. The EU's VAT in the Digital Age (ViDA) initiative will further broaden these obligations. Sovos meticulously monitors these developments and adjusts its integrations with tax authorities to ensure your compliance processes align with the latest mandates. The Sovos CTC Compliance Network seamlessly links your ERP system to tax authority platforms, ensuring that your invoice and VAT data remains uniform across different nations. Stay ahead of global VAT and e-invoicing requirements with Sovos.
TIN Verification
Sovos provides a solution for verifying taxpayer identification numbers (TINs) against IRS databases prior to onboarding, payment, or filing processes. Their TINCheck service allows for real-time matching of Name/TIN pairs, bulk file verification, and seamless integration into onboarding workflows through REST and SOAP APIs. Discrepancies between names and TINs can lead to B-Notices, backup withholding, and penalties from the IRS. It's crucial to identify and rectify these issues early in the process, rather than waiting until filing season. The bulk TIN matching feature can handle up to 100,000 records, delivering results within 24 to 48 hours. TINCheck offers a comprehensive platform that includes IRS TIN matching, OFAC sanctions screening, checks against the Death Master File, and access to over 30 government and international watchlists. This supports compliance with KYC and AML regulations, as well as vendor verification, all without the need for additional tools. Notably, TINCheck Cache provides results even when the IRS system is unavailable. Utilize Sovos for a TIN match prior to the onset of filing season.
1099
Sovos assists businesses in the preparation, validation, submission, and distribution of 1099 forms to the IRS and state authorities. Users can easily import payee information, conduct Name/TIN validations, electronically file both federal and state documents, and send out copies to recipients via print, mail, or electronic delivery. The IRS is set to phase out its outdated FIRE system on December 31, 2026. Beginning with the 2026 Tax Year, electronic information returns will be processed through IRIS, which utilizes XML schemas and validates submissions in real-time. Unlike FIRE, where errors could be identified weeks later, IRIS allows for immediate error detection upon submission. Sovos is prepared for this transition, ensuring your filing process is aligned with the upcoming changes. Sovos offers support for various forms including 1099-NEC, 1099-MISC, 1099-INT, 1099-DIV, 1099-R, and more, along with Combined Federal/State Filing options. Clients can choose from flexible solutions, including pay-per-form filing via eFileMyForms or high-volume filing through 1099Pro Cloud, which accommodates unlimited users and payers. Choose Sovos for your 1099 filing needs.

5 out of 5 stars Date: Sep 22 2026SummaryEspecially since I've used this app for years, it is SO EASY to use. And very competitively priced to have the app handle the mailing and filing. I have no need or interest to look elsewhere.
PositiveeFileMyForms has been my go-to for many years for my 1099 reporting. And I tell everyone about it that needs an easy 1099 processing app. It's more than 1099s but that is my use. It is very affordably priced to have the app handle the mailing and filing. Importing the data and mapping the fields is a breeze. As a freelance accountant I use this app for several entities each year.

Good Software for TIN Checks
4 out of 5 stars Updated: Sep 22 2026Summaryoverall, it is a great tool for vendor management verification and it helps with 1099 reporting as the goal is to get as little IRS letters during tax season about not matching EIN records
PositiveDoes a really good job of verifying EIN and SSN for vendor management. Giving it a 70% threshold helps with spelling and or naming conventions to verify if there is a match with IRS records.
NegativeWhenever the IRS portal/verification system is down, you are the mercy of the IRS when this gets fixed. From time to time, the portal will hang as if loading when you hit submit, but it just sits there and it does not load the request. You will need to close and log back in and resubmit the request.

NegativeI am not satisfied with the updated print format. The print is extremely small and difficult to read. Additionally, the system can be very unreliable and tends to go down during critical times, which creates unnecessary delays and frustration.

Reliable tax compliance platform with useful automation
5 out of 5 stars Updated: Sep 22 2026SummaryMy overall experience with Sovos has been positive. I have used it weekly for less than six months, so I am still learning some of the more advanced functionality. For the compliance-related tasks I have worked with, it has been reliable and has helped reduce manual effort. The platform has a broad set of capabilities, although usability could be improved in a few areas.
PositiveSovos has been helpful for managing tax and compliance-related processes in a more organized and automated way. I like that the platform brings multiple compliance functions together and reduces some of the manual work involved in tracking requirements. The reporting and automation capabilities are useful, especially when working with recurring compliance tasks.
NegativeThere is a learning curve when you first start using the platform, and some parts of the interface could be more intuitive. Certain workflows take a little time to understand, especially if you only use the product weekly rather than every day. More straightforward navigation and documentation would improve the experience.

Long term TINCheck User
5 out of 5 stars Updated: Sep 15 2026SummaryGood service that we have been using for 10+ years. It allows us to quickly find accounts with bad TINs so we can correct the numbers before our 1099s go out. Our TIN numbers are accurate and we have never had a fine because of wrong numbers.
PositiveYou can upload a file to have a large number of TINs checked at one time. We use this feature during 1099 season. We get a detailed report back quickly (usually in a few hours). The report tells us if any TIN has an error and what the error is. It is easy to upload the file. You can also check TINs one at a time, which we use when onboarding.
NegativeNothing I can think of. The product works as expected and is easy to use.
