FAQ
Does this work for contractors in multiple states?
Yes. Each client record stores state, and the agent flags state-specific tax considerations on the invoice description.
Can the agent generate the 1099 summary at year-end?
Yes. Run the year-end automation in January and the agent compiles every paid invoice per client into a table ready to hand your accountant.
What plan supports a contracting business?
Pro ($16/mo annual) handles individual contractors. Business ($40/mo) for contractor teams with audit logs.
