Generate 1099 tax forms for property owners and vendors automatically

Pulls yearly payment totals for owners and vendors and drafts every 1099 form that meets the IRS threshold.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Exactly one path is taken; runs once per each owner and vendor; a person has to approve before it continues.

The problem it solves

Every January you pull payment totals for every owner and vendor from the year to figure out who needs a 1099 and for how much. Missing a threshold or a name mismatch means a form goes out wrong or late. Filing corrections after the fact eats up time you do not have during tax season.

Who it fits

Property management companies that pay rental income to owners and contractors to vendors.

How it works

  1. Year end triggers a pull of total payments made to each owner and vendor
  2. System checks each total against IRS reporting thresholds
  3. Draft 1099 forms are generated for anyone who qualifies
  4. Forms are reviewed, then emailed or mailed to recipients and filed
What you get

1099s ready without a January scramble

You get a 1099 form drafted automatically at year end for every owner and vendor who crosses the IRS threshold.

What you get

Draft 1099 forms for every qualifying owner and vendor ready for review and filing.

What you need

An accounting system with a full year of owner and vendor payment records.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
