Know which contractors need a 1099 this year, and upload to IRIS without CSV rejections.

For tax year 2026 the 1099-NEC and most 1099-MISC thresholds went from $600 to $2,000. 1099 Ready reads the contractor payment sheet you already keep in Google Sheets™, totals each payee across rows, tells you who must get a form, and checks every cell against the rules of the IRS IRIS CSV upload.

FREE

WHAT IT IS NOT
A format and threshold check only. It is not tax advice, it does not connect to IRS systems, and it is not IRS TIN Matching. You file the CSV yourself in IRIS. Rules and sources: https://1099.sl-studio.dev/

PRIVACY
Your sheet data stays in Google: the check and the CSV are made inside the add-on. Our server sees only the Pro key and the Google account email it is bound to. Details: https://1099.sl-studio.dev/privacy/

SELLER AND REFUNDS
Pro is sold by SL Studio, not Google, through Stripe checkout at https://1099.sl-studio.dev/pricing/. Refund within 14 days of purchase, for any reason: hello@sl-studio.dev.
