BILL’s Built‑In 1099 Filing: Collect W‑9s, Generate Forms, Deliver, and E‑File

Run AP in BILL?


You can now handle 1099-NEC/MISC end-to-end inside the same dashboard.
Collect W-9s, mark 1099-eligible vendors, bulk-categorize payments, generate forms, deliver copies, and e-file with the IRS—fast and simple.

New Feature:


File 1099s directly in BILL—collect W-9s, generate and deliver 1099-NEC/MISC, then e-file with the IRS.
Pricing starts at $2.99/form.

What This Is (In Plain English)

 

  • All-in-one 1099 workflow inside BILL, alongside your AP.

  • Collect W-9s from vendors, flag who’s 1099-eligible, and categorize payments in bulk.

  • Automatically generate 1099-NEC/MISC, deliver copies electronically or by USPS, and e-file with the IRS.

  • State e-file included only for states in the IRS Combined Federal/State Filing (CF/SF) program.

Pricing

  • Direct users: $2.99 per form

  • Accounting Partners: $1.99 per form

  • USPS mailed recipient copy: $1.99 each

Step-by-Step: How It Works

  1. Collect W-9s – Request and collect W-9s directly from vendors in BILL.

  2. Mark 1099-eligible vendors – Use the 1099 Filing tab to flag who requires a form.

  3. Bulk categorize payments – Review all payments and assign categories in one place.

  4. Generate forms – BILL produces the 1099-NEC/MISC automatically once categories are set.

  5. Deliver to vendors – Send e-delivery or USPS mail directly from BILL.

  6. E-file with IRS – Submit electronically from BILL (CF/SF state coverage only).


Timeline (When to Do What)

  • Now (Nov–Dec): Request missing W-9s and flag 1099-eligible vendors.

  • Early January: Bulk-categorize payments and validate totals.

  • Mid–Late January: Generate, deliver vendor copies, then e-file.

Who This Helps Most

  • SMBs and LMM teams already paying vendors in BILL (fewer tools, fewer exports).

  • Bookkeepers and accounting partners managing multiple clients.

  • Ops owners who want AP and tax reporting in one workflow.
