Contractor and 1099 Payment Tracker
Paying subcontractors and dreading 1099 season? This tracker keeps you
organized all year, so January is a review instead of a reconstruction.
Built by a Certified QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor who files 1099s for
contractors every year — every column reflects what you actually need at tax
time.
What's inside:
- Subcontractor Log — name, trade, and last four of each sub's EIN or SSN
- Month-by-month payment entry with year-to-date totals calculating
automatically
- Automatic 1099 flag — anyone paid at or above the threshold gets flagged
for you
- W-9 status column — see at a glance which subs still owe you paperwork
before filing season
- 1099 Summary tab that pulls straight from your log — nothing re-entered
How it works: Blue cells are yours to fill in. Everything else calculates
automatically. The threshold is pre-set to the 2026 IRS limit of $2,000 and
is editable if it changes.
Who it's for: contractors and small business owners who pay subs through the
year and don't want to rebuild twelve months of payments in three weeks.
