Bill announces 1099 filing tool

Payment solutions provider Bill released a new tool that lets users manage their AP needs and 1099-NEC and 1099-MISC forms together from a single platform 

"Without the right technology, the process of filing year-end forms for vendors and contractors can be complicated and time consuming for SMBs, plus it can be challenging to stay compliant," said Ariege Misherghi, senior vice president and general manager of AP, AR and accountant channel at Bill. "That is why Bill is delivering an intuitive 1099 filing solution — empowering SMBs and their accountants to quickly collect, create and file 1099s in the same place where they're already tracking vendor payments throughout the year. With Bill, businesses can now handle this critical component of tax season with ease and get back to what they do best — serving their customers."

The new feature allows users to request and collect W-9s directly from within the platform, removing the need to navigate between disparate software solutions. They can also pick and choose which vendors are 1099 eligible with the "1099 Filing" tab in the left hand navigation. Users can view all payments made to a vendor and categorize payments in bulk. Once payments have been categorized, the software will generate all 1099 forms. The solution can then deliver 1099s either electronically or physically via USPS to all vendors for review. Once 1099 documents have been generated and reviewed by vendors, users can file all 1099s electronically with the IRS with the click of a button, provided the state they're in is participating in the Combined Federal/State Filing program, listed at IRS.gov. Users can pay 1099 vendors any way they prefer, including ACH, virtual cards, pay by card, international wire or Bill checks. 

W-9 collection capabilities are available now. Additional features for 1099s will be available on Jan. 2, 2025. 1099 Filing from Bill is only available to Direct and AC organizations that use Bill Accounts Payable.
