1099 & W-9

IRS 1099 and W-9 compliance for enterprises

W-9 collection and 1099 reporting across a large enterprise is no simple task. With hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of vendors to track plus strict IRS filing deadlines, the margin for error is small. Enterprises need a scalable way to stay ahead of 1099 compliance demands.

How it works

Manage 1099 and W-9 compliance from a single dashboard

  • Request electronic W-9s, W-8s, and W-4s from vendors while Avalara 1099 & W-9 automatically validates TINs (for U.S. vendors) in real time.
  • Relax. Avalara 1099 & W-9 will worry about security protocols on your behalf.
  • Create 1099s, e-file with the IRS (with another round of TIN checks), e-file with the required states (Avalara 1099 & W-9 flags which states require e-filing), and e-deliver (or postal mail) to your vendors all at once.

Flexible W-9 collection

Whether you’re working with just a few vendors, onboarding new ones around the clock, or managing a complex internal system, Avalara 1099 & W-9 offers flexible solutions to fit your workflow. Easily collect W-9s by sending online requests to individual vendors, importing a bulk CSV file, embedding a collection widget into your onboarding process, or integrating Avalara 1099 & W-9 capabilities directly into your internal systems using APIs — no extra sign-ins required.

Put the onus on your vendors to get their information correct

Global vendor compliance

Avalara 1099 & W-9 supports compliance for foreign vendors by enabling enterprises to collect, validate, and store W-8 forms securely, and to e-file Form 1042-S. These tools help businesses meet IRS requirements for international payments with greater accuracy and less manual effort.

Stop going back and forth with your vendors

IRS, state, and recipient 1099 compliance made simpler at scale

Enterprises can import 1099 payee data or integrate with our APIs to transfer vendor details from W-9s for quick turnaround to the IRS while automatically checking for errors. Then they can e-file with the individual states that require extra filing and automatically e-deliver 1099 copies back to their vendors ahead of strict IRS deadlines.

Validate your vendors’ postal addresses too
