Saratoga follows the California state minimum wage: $16.90/hr in 2026, with no separate local rate. We apply the current Saratoga rate automatically across our payroll and bookkeeping services before each effective date.
We serve Saratoga businesses alongside clients from Milpitas to San Jose, knowing the California tax rules, CDTFA filing requirements, and EDD payroll compliance that affect your business.
We prepare Form 1099-NEC for every Saratoga contractor paid 600 dollars or more during the year, with accurate amounts, correct recipient TINs, and electronic filing with the IRS by January 31.
California requires 1099-NEC forms to be filed with the California Franchise Tax Board in addition to the IRS. We file both simultaneously so your Saratoga business stays compliant with state reporting requirements.
We advise Saratoga businesses on collecting W-9 forms before paying contractors and can verify TINs through IRS TIN matching to avoid B-notices and backup withholding requirements.
In addition to 1099-NEC, some Saratoga businesses need to file 1099-MISC for rent payments, attorney fees, prizes, and other miscellaneous payments. We prepare and file both forms as needed.
California AB 5 has strict rules on worker classification. We help Saratoga businesses evaluate the ABC Test for each contractor relationship and advise on proper classification to avoid costly EDD audits.
We reconcile your QuickBooks contractor payment records against W-9s collected throughout the year, identify any missing forms, and prepare a complete 1099 package filed before the January 31 deadline.

1099-NEC forms must be filed with the IRS and provided to contractors by January 31 each year. California also requires filing with the FTB. You must file for any unincorporated contractor or freelancer paid 600 dollars or more during the calendar year.
Yes. California requires 1099-NEC and 1099-MISC forms to be filed with the California Franchise Tax Board in addition to the federal IRS filing. The California deadline also aligns with the federal January 31 date. We file both simultaneously for Saratoga clients.
California AB 5 significantly restricts when you can classify a worker as an independent contractor rather than an employee. If a worker fails the ABC Test, they should be on payroll, not receiving a 1099. We help Saratoga businesses evaluate each relationship before filing 1099-NECs.
