Year-end AP vendor payment export and W-9 verification spreadsheet — "January panic filing 1099-NEC forms with missing TINs or incorrect total disbursements"
Why the manual spreadsheet breaks financial controls and how a deterministic workflow replaces it.
Year-end contractor payments are exported from AP and cross-checked against a W-9 spreadsheet to decide who crosses the 1099 reporting threshold.
Missing TINs and mis-summed disbursements force a January scramble, late or corrected 1099-NEC filings, and IRS penalty exposure.
W-9 collection gateway at vendor onboarding with TIN matching, plus a running 1099 aggregator on every AP disbursement.
Filing assertion: no payment can be released to a vendor without a verified TIN, and cumulative reportable payments are tallied continuously.
Three-stage comparison between manual workbook reconciliation and automated rule-based execution.
Contractor payments reconciled against a W-9 sheet at year end.
