Seller's description

Keep every contractor payment organized and never miss a 1099 filing deadline with this 1099 Contractor Tracker for Google Sheets. Built for small business owners, freelance managers, and anyone who hires independent contractors, this spreadsheet handles payment tracking, W-9 status monitoring, and automatic $600 threshold alerts so you stay compliant all year long.

**What You Get:**

5 powerful tabs that work together to manage your contractor payments:

**Dashboard** - See your full contractor picture at a glance. KPI cards show total contractors, total paid YTD, how many require a 1099, and how many W-9s are still missing. Charts display payments by contractor and monthly spending trends. A dedicated 1099 Alert section lists every contractor who has crossed the $600 threshold with their W-9 status and action needed.

**Contractors** - Your contractor directory with name, business name, tax ID (last 4 digits), email, phone, address, W-9 received status, and active/inactive tracking. Dropdown menus keep data consistent and W-9 status highlights missing forms in amber so nothing slips through.

**Payment Log** - Record every payment with date, contractor name (dropdown from your list), description, amount, payment method, invoice number, and reference number. Quarter calculates automatically from the date. Supports Check, ACH, Wire, PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, Cash, and Other payment types.

**1099 Summary** - The heart of the tracker. Shows each contractor with quarterly totals, YTD total, whether a 1099 is required, W-9 status, and action needed. Conditional formatting turns the 1099 Required column terracotta when a contractor hits $600+. If someone needs a 1099 but you are missing their W-9, the Action Needed column shows "GET W-9 NOW" in bold to make sure you follow up.

**Monthly Breakdown** - See exactly how much you paid each contractor by month with a 12-column grid and annual totals. A totals row at the bottom shows your total contractor spend per month across all contractors.

**Key Features:**
- Automatic $600 threshold monitoring for 1099 reporting
- W-9 status tracking with visual alerts for missing forms
- All formulas update automatically as you log payments
- Dropdown menus for contractor names, payment methods, and status fields
- Conditional formatting highlights critical action items
