Day 15 of our Year End Bookkeeping Checklist
Today’s final step is preparing W-9s and reviewing your 1099 information. Getting this organized early saves you time and stress in January.
Make sure you have a W-9 on file for each contractor you paid this year. Confirm their name, address, and tax ID are correct and match the totals recorded in your books. Check payment methods too, since contractors paid by credit card or platforms like PayPal often do not require a 1099 from your business.
Veterinary clinics should double check totals for relief vets, specialists, and other independent providers.
A quick review today gives you a smooth start when tax season arrives.
