Case Study: Donegal Insurance Group achieves faster, more accurate 1099 reporting with Sovos Tax Information Reporting (TIR)

Donegal Insurance Group saves time and ensures accuracy with Sovos

Donegal Insurance Group, a publicly traded insurer that grew rapidly through acquisitions, faced a surge in 1099‑MISC volume—about 17,500 forms annually—and needed to reduce time spent on reporting while ensuring name‑TIN accuracy. To address this, Donegal turned to Sovos and its Tax Information Reporting solution (Sovos TIR) for real‑time TIN matching.

Sovos deployed real‑time TIN matching through Sovos TIR to automate name‑TIN verification and streamline IRS filing, eliminating the need to submit large bulk files and wait for IRS responses. The result: Donegal cuts reporting prep to roughly a week, files over 17,000 forms with only about 10 mismatches, and frees accounting staff to focus on other critical deadlines—achievements enabled by Sovos.
