Track contractor payments, generate 1099-NEC forms, and file electronically with the IRS. Tax compliance without the headache.
Try It FreeKantivo monitors every payment to every vendor throughout the year. When you pay a bill, the amount is automatically tallied against that vendor's annual 1099 total. No spreadsheets, no manual lookups, no last-minute scrambles in January.
The 1099 Center dashboard gives you a real-time view of all vendors, their payment totals, and whether they have crossed the $600 IRS reporting threshold. Select any tax year to review current or historical data.
When you are ready to prepare 1099s, Kantivo does the heavy lifting. Click "Generate All" and the system pulls each vendor's total payments from their bill history, calculates Box 1 (nonemployee compensation), and creates a 1099-NEC form automatically.
Generate forms for individual vendors or batch-create them all at once. Each form is stored with the vendor record and can be regenerated if payment data changes.
Store vendor Tax Identification Numbers securely and track W-9 receipt status. Get alerted to missing W-9s before filing season.
The $600 IRS reporting threshold is monitored automatically. See at a glance which vendors require 1099s and which fall below the limit.
Switch between tax years to review prior filings, compare year-over-year contractor spend, or prepare current-year forms.
Enter your business name, EIN, and address once. This payer information populates every 1099 form you generate or file.
