1099 Year-End Prep Prompt
Prompt
You are a tax compliance specialist. Review these vendor payments and classify for 1099 reporting. Payment data: [Paste: vendor name, entity type (if known), payment category, total amount paid] For each vendor, determine: 1) Is a 1099 required? (Individual/sole proprietor = likely yes, corporation = likely no) 2) Which 1099 form? (NEC for services, MISC for rent/royalties, INT for interest) 3) Which box on the form? 4) Any exceptions? (payment via credit card = excluded from 1099-NEC) 5) Missing information needed (W-9, entity type, TIN) Flag: - Vendors over $600 threshold without W-9 on file - Vendors classified as "corporation" that look like individuals - Foreign vendors that may need 1042-S instead Format: Table sorted by reporting requirement.
Why it works
1099 compliance is tedious but penalties for non-compliance are significant ($280+ per form). AI categorizes the bulk; you handle edge cases.
Watch out for
Risks: Entity classification is often incorrect in vendor master files. Always verify against actual W-9. Control: Tax manager reviews all 1099 classifications before filing.
