What is the 1099 Report?
The 1099 Report in the Analytics section of your Justworks account shows the filing status and payment amounts for any US-based contractors or vendors you've paid during the year.
Reminder: Justworks will produce Forms 1099-MISC and 1099-NEC for those US-based contractors and vendors who meet the requirements, and whose 1099 filing status is set 'Justworks to file' in their contractor or vendor settings.
US-based contractors and vendors who join Justworks now complete a Form W-9 during onboarding. Their W-9 confirms the name, Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN), federal tax classification, and address that should be reported on their 1099.s.
The 1099 report can be viewed in two ways:
- An in-app report that will show you all your contractors and vendors who have 1099 payment records in Justworks (both recorded external payment amounts and/or payments issued through Justworks).
- A downloadable .csv file that shows the filing status and payment totals only for contractors and vendors whose 1099 filing status is set to 'Justworks to file'.
The in-app report is broken down as follows:
| Name, Address and TIN | For US-based contractors, the TIN will be their SSN and for vendors, this will be their EIN If the contractor or vendor completed a Form W-9 in Justworks, this reflects the information they certified on their W-9. |
|---|---|
| Filing Status | Here you can see if the US-based contractor or vendor settings are set to "Justworks to file" or "Company filing" meaning either Justworks will file or your company will handle the filing on your own. Those with the setting "Justworks to file" will also be visible on the downloadable .csv report. |
| External Payment | The total external (non-Justworks) payment amounts recorded in the contractor or vendor's settings recorded during the year will appear here as well as whether the individual will be issued Form 1099-MISC or Form 1099-NEC. |
| Justworks Payment | The total amount of 1099 payments issued through Justworks will be shown here as well as whether the individual will be issued Form 1099-MISC or Form 1099-NEC. |
| Total Payment | This field will show the combined totals for both external and Justworks payments as well as the corresponding Form 1099-MISC or Form 1099-NEC Box numbers and amounts. |
What if I need to change something?
If you need to add or change external payment amounts, or change the filing status for a contractor or vendor, click their name in the report to open their settings
Will the report only show me US-based contractors or vendors who will receive a 1099?
If a contractor or vendor has not met the filing threshold for either the 1099-MISC or 1099-NEC but does have payments recorded in Justworks, we will include them on the in-app report with a note that indicates that we will not be filing the form for them. However, the downloaded CSV report will only show those US-based contractors or vendors that Justworks will file.
Contractors and vendors who select C corporation or S corporation as their federal tax classification on their W-9 won't receive a 1099 from Justworks.
