Survey: Where 1099 Processes Break (and How to Repair Them)

New data from the Avalara/IOFM 1099 Compliance Survey reveals at what point manual processes buckle, W-9 error rates spike, January hours stretch and B-Notices follow. The study also find that concern over taxpayer-data breaches has nearly doubled in two years, as W-9s full of SSNs and TINs still move by email and shared spreadsheets.

This white paper shows AP specialists exactly where the 1099 process cracks and lays out a practical sequence to repair each stage. You'll see how peers at your filing volume perform, why partial automation can mask problems instead of solving them, and how to build the case for a process that scales with your volume while protecting sensitive taxpayer data year-round.

Download the white paper to:

• Identify the three points where the 1099 process breaks down and the error cost at each.
• Benchmark your W-9 error rates and January hours against peers at your filing volume.
• Understand why manual and partial-automation workflows fail as volume scales past 1,000 filings.
• Build a business case for an end-to-end process that improves accuracy and protects taxpayer data year-round.
