W-9 & 1099 Services handled all year long.
We collect W-9s, track contractor payments, and prepare and file your 1099s, so year-end reporting is organized instead of rushed.
Contractor reporting is easiest when it starts long before January. TreeStar helps you collect Form W-9 from vendors and contractors when they are first paid, so names and taxpayer identification numbers are on file. Throughout the year, we track payments in QuickBooks Online and flag which vendors are likely to need a 1099. At year-end, we prepare and file Forms 1099-NEC and 1099-MISC, furnish copies to recipients, and keep the records tied to your books. W-9s are collected through secure channels, never by email.

Common questions
What is the difference between a 1099-NEC and a 1099-MISC?
Form 1099-NEC generally reports payments to nonemployees for services. Form 1099-MISC reports certain other payments, such as rents. We review your vendor payments to determine which form, if any, applies.
Do you decide whether a worker is a contractor or an employee?
Worker classification depends on the facts of each relationship. We can help you think through the factors and work alongside your attorney where legal questions arise.
Can you file 1099s if I did not collect W-9s during the year?
Yes, though it takes more time. We help you request missing W-9s and catch up before the filing deadline.
