How to add recipient information on 1099 forms?

When it comes to filing Form 1099 with TaxBandits, you have three options for importing your data:

• Manual Entry
• Bulk Import
• Import from Accounting Software

Manual Entry
Manual entry allows you to add your details to each field manually. You'll need to fill in basic information, such as the payer’s name and address, recipient’s name and address, account number, nonemployee compensation amount, and federal income tax withheld amount. Don't forget to include the state information for the state you are filing with.



Bulk Import
Bulk import allows you to file multiple 1099s by importing payer and recipient data using three different methods:

• Use Our Standard Template
  Download our CSV template, follow the instructions to fill in the data, and upload the file.
• Upload Your Own File
  You can import data from cloud storage like Google Drive, which supports file types like XLS, CSV, and XLSX. Alternatively, you can upload a file or "drag and drop" it in CSV format.
• Copy and Paste Data
  Copy the data from your own file and paste it. This method automatically maps your data to the respective fields.
   

Import from Accounting Software

This option allows you to import 1099-NEC and 1099-MISC data directly from your accounting software. The following are the supported platforms for importing data: 

• QuickBooks Online
• Xero Connect 
• Zoho Books
• FreshBooks
   

Note: Sage Intacct users can directly import 1099 data from their Sage account at the click of a button.
