File 1099-NEC & 1099-MISC right from your books
HelloBooks tracks every contractor toward the IRS threshold ($2,000 from 2026), collects W-9s up front, and prepares federal and state filings — corrections included. No separate 1099 tool, no January scramble.

Year-to-date 1099 status
Illustrative view. Contractor totals and W-9 status come straight from the payments in your ledger.
1099 filing that never leaves your accounting
Automatic threshold tracking
Every payment to a contractor is totalled as you go. HelloBooks flags who has crossed the IRS reporting threshold for the year ($2,000 for payments made in 2026 onward; $600 for 2025 and earlier) — no year-end spreadsheet reconciliation.
W-9 collected before you pay
A vendor is only marked 1099-eligible once a W-9 is on file, so you have the TIN and legal name you need at filing time instead of chasing them in January.
1099-NEC & 1099-MISC
Amounts come straight from the bills and payments already in your ledger, mapped to the right box on the right form. No re-keying, no exports.
Prepare federal & state filings
File electronically with the IRS and participating states through the Combined Federal/State (CF/SF) program — recipient copies included. No forms to mail.
Corrections handled
Wrong amount or TIN after you filed? Issue a corrected 1099 without starting over — the correction flows through the same workflow.
One ledger, one source of truth
1099 filing lives inside the same books that record the payments — so contractor totals, W-9 status and filings never drift out of sync with your accounting.
From first payment to filed — in four steps
- 1
Add your contractors
Collect a W-9 and mark the vendor 1099-eligible. HelloBooks stores the TIN, legal name and address you will need at filing time.
- 2
Pay through your books
Record bills and payments as usual. Every reportable payment is totalled toward the contractor’s annual 1099 amount automatically.
- 3
Review before you file
At year end, review the list of contractors over the IRS threshold, confirm amounts by box, and fix any missing W-9s flagged for you.
- 4
Prepare federal + state
File 1099-NEC / 1099-MISC electronically with the IRS and participating states, send recipient copies, and issue corrections if anything changes.
