Redmond – October 15, 2026 -- Halfpricesoft.com released ezW2 2026, tax software that starts at $119.00 per single installation for the E-File version and $69.00 for the Print-and-Mail edition, ahead of the 2027 tax season.

Both editions support unlimited forms for unlimited companies. The software covers W-2, W-3, 1099-NEC and 1096 preparation.

Direct in-app filing removes the need for agency accounts

The recommended filing path transmits W-2/W-3 data to the Social Security Administration (SSA) and 1099-NEC/1096 forms to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) from inside the application. Users do not need an IRS Transmitter Control Code (TCC) or SSA registration, so they skip those application processes.

Submissions run through Halfpricesoft's authorized systems. The company says users get real-time status updates and error monitoring.
