What it is

QuickBooks Contractor Payments helps businesses pay independent contractors and prepare 1099 filings. Its listed Contractor Payments plan costs $12.50/mo and includes up to 20 contractors, unlimited payments and unlimited 1099 e-files; each additional contractor is $2. Next-day direct deposit is subject to eligibility and processing cutoffs. Businesses can create and e-file 1099s for the current filing year and payments recorded in QuickBooks. Contractors can use a free account to submit W-9s and bank deposit details online, while payment data syncs automatically with QuickBooks Online. The service encrypts sensitive contractor tax information and is available on Android, iOS and the web. Pricing information also shows $50/mo and a 30-day trial, though the separate free-trial field says no. Support resources include help articles, video tutorials and an online community.
