1099 Year-End Prep Agent

Assembles W-9s + 1099-NEC packets for every vendor before Jan 31. Replaces a $55k Tax Preparer.

The Problem

An SMB owner pays $55k/yr to a Tax Preparer who spends January chasing W-9s from 30-80 vendors, totaling YTD payments per vendor, validating TINs, and assembling 1099-NEC packets. The role is 85% document chasing + line-totaling — agent territory.

The Outcome

December 1 → agent pulls every vendor with > $600 YTD payments from QBO → cross-references W-9 on file → drafts 'missing W-9' email per vendor → on receipt, parses W-9 with Unstructured → validates TIN format → assembles 1099-NEC draft per vendor with payment total + recipient block. You sign, your CPA files.

Day in the Life

Dec 1: pulls vendors with YTD > $600 in QBO → drafts W-9 request emails for any vendor missing one → tracks responses

On W-9 receipt: parses PDF via Unstructured → extracts TIN, name, address, entity type → validates via IRS TIN-format rules

Jan 15: drafts 1099-NEC packets for every qualifying vendor → emails CPA-ready bundle for human review and filing
