Welcome back to the Bean Blog! 🚀


Today's topic: Making 1099s Easy


Ever feel stressed about 1099s at the end of the year? 😖


✅ You can follow these three steps to help ease the process!

  1. Collect a W-9 Form from your contractor, vendor or supplier at the time of hire.

    (This makes it easier than scrambling to contact and collect a ton of information in December!)


  2. Send the W-9 Form to your bookkeeper.

    (Your bookkeeper can organize the W-9 information and keep it on file so filing 1099s in January is easy-peasy!)


  3. Stay in touch with your bookkeeper about missing W-9s.

    (Your bookkeeper will typically reach out if they appear to be missing any W-9s. Don't forget to respond!)


⭐️ TIP #1: When collecting the W-9, remember to also collect their email address. This will make filing 1099s cheaper!


If you don't have a bookkeeper, you can use free services such as Track1099 to file (or hire us and we'll take care of it for you!😉).
