Automatically flags which contractors are approaching the $600 IRS reporting threshold across the year, instead of a January scramble to figure out who needs a 1099.
You get a flag before any contractor crosses the $600 threshold, so 1099 season is never a year-end scramble.
Backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee. If it is not useful, we will refund it, no questions asked.
Businesses that pay multiple 1099 contractors often don't realize a contractor crossed the $600 reporting threshold until filing deadlines are already close. This tracker logs every payment as you make it and keeps a running year-to-date total per contractor, so the threshold gets flagged automatically instead of discovered in January.
Log each payment with the contractor's name spelled exactly the same way every time so totals calculate correctly. The sheet totals payments per contractor and flags anyone approaching, then crossing, the $600 threshold, so you know who needs a 1099-NEC before filing deadlines hit. It also reminds you to confirm you have a W-9 on file before the first payment.
We built this after seeing how common it is for the $600 threshold to sneak up on a business paying several small contractors throughout the year. No single payment looks like it crosses the line; it's the running total that matters, and that's exactly what a static list without running totals won't show you.

Running year-to-date totals per contractor flag the $600 threshold as it's crossed, not after the fact.
A prompt to confirm you have a W-9 on file before the first payment, so you're not chasing paperwork at filing time.
Run the sheet in January to see exactly which contractors need a 1099-NEC.
Does this file the 1099-NEC for me?
No, it's a tracking tool that tells you which contractors need a 1099-NEC; filing itself happens through the IRS or your payroll/tax software.
What if a contractor's name is spelled differently across entries?
Totals are calculated per exact name match, so use the same spelling every time you log a payment for the same contractor to keep totals accurate.
Is the $600 threshold specific to this tax year?
The $600 reporting threshold is the current federal standard; confirm the figure hasn't changed for your filing year with the IRS or your accountant before relying on it.
