B&H prepares and e-files 1099-NEC forms for Mountain View businesses with independent contractors — mailed to recipients, filed with the IRS and California FTB, with AB-5 compliance guidance included.
Mountain View's tech economy runs heavily on contractors — freelance developers, designers, consultants, and specialists. That means a large 1099-NEC obligation each January, plus California's strict AB-5 worker classification rules to navigate.
We prepare and e-file all 1099-NEC forms well before the January 31 IRS deadline. Recipient copies are mailed on time — avoiding the $60–$310 per-form penalty for late filing.
California requires a separate 1099-NEC filing with the FTB. We handle both the federal and California submissions simultaneously — one engagement, no missed state filing.
California's AB-5 law uses a strict ABC test for contractor classification. We review your contractor relationships and advise on which workers may need to be reclassified as employees — before the EDD does it for you.
Missing a contractor's TIN or address? We help Mountain View businesses collect W-9 forms and track down missing information before year-end — avoiding IRS backup withholding notices.
We review your contractor payment records, verify W-9 information, and prepare accurate 1099-NEC forms for every contractor who received $600 or more during the year.
Electronic filing via the IRS FIRE system — faster, more accurate, and required for filers with 10 or more forms. We file on your behalf and retain confirmation receipts.
California requires separate 1099-NEC reporting with the FTB for California residents. We file the California information return simultaneously with the federal filing.
We help Mountain View businesses collect outstanding W-9s from contractors before year-end and verify TINs — preventing IRS backup withholding notices and $50 per-form penalties.
California AB-5's ABC test is strict. We review your contractor arrangements and flag workers who should likely be reclassified as employees — protecting you from EDD audits and back-tax assessments.
Issued an incorrect 1099-NEC? We prepare corrected forms (1099-NEC with a checked "CORRECTED" box) and re-file with the IRS and FTB — minimizing penalties from the original error.
Yes. B&H prepares and e-files 1099-NEC forms for Mountain View businesses with independent contractors — mailed to recipients and filed with the IRS and California FTB by January 31. Call 408-256-0339 for a free consultation.
Any unincorporated contractor — sole proprietor, single-member LLC taxed as sole proprietor, or partnership — to whom you paid $600 or more for services during the year. Payments to corporations are generally exempt. We review your contractor list and determine exactly who needs a form.
January 31 — both to furnish copies to recipients and to file with the IRS and California FTB. Missing this deadline triggers IRS penalties starting at $60 per form, scaling up to $310 per form for intentional disregard. We file electronically well before the deadline.
California AB-5 makes it difficult to classify most workers as independent contractors. Workers who don't pass the ABC test must be treated as employees — subject to payroll taxes and W-2 reporting, not 1099-NEC. We advise Mountain View businesses on AB-5 compliance to avoid costly misclassification penalties from the EDD.
If your contractors should be classified as employees under AB-5, we set up proper payroll from day one — SurePayroll-powered direct deposit, quarterly 941 filings, and Mountain View minimum wage compliance.
