This category holds one engagement, and that is deliberate. We prepare and file contractor information returns, because they come straight out of the vendor records and the ledger we already keep for you.
It belongs next to the bookkeeping rather than off to one side, because every figure on those forms traces back to how payments were categorised through the year. Get that right in March and January is uneventful.
Your own tax preparer is the natural next reader of this work. The cleaner and more consistent the vendor records are through the year, the less they have to come back to you for when the filing deadline arrives.
One engagement, done properly, with the groundwork that makes it possible running all year.
If you pay contractors, the forms have to go out, and the information behind them has to be right. We track vendor records through the year, confirm what is missing before January turns into a problem, then prepare and file the 1099-NEC and 1099-MISC forms and get copies to your contractors.

Contractor documentation is easy to collect before the first payment and difficult to collect after the last one. The single most useful habit a business can build here is asking for what it needs at the point of engagement rather than at year end.
We set that expectation up with you, keep the vendor records consistent through the year, and raise anything missing while people are still answering their phones. By the time the deadline comes round, the work is already done.
