Automatic 1099 Contractor Tracking
Never miss a 1099 filing deadline with automated tracking.
Nora monitors QuickBooks payments to contractors, tracks annual totals per vendor, alerts when thresholds are reached, and generates 1099 data exports ready for filing.
Payments to contractors are scattered across QuickBooks—some as vendor payments, some as bill payments, some as expenses. Nora consolidates all payments to each vendor/contractor, totals them by calendar year, and alerts you when a contractor hits $600+ (current 1099 threshold). It logs contractor tax IDs and contact info, creates reminders to send 1099-NEC forms by January 31, and generates a formatted data export ready to upload to the IRS. This removes the January scramble to work out which vendors crossed the threshold, and the late-filing penalties that follow when one is missed. Every vendor who crosses the reporting threshold is on the list, including the one paid once in March.
