QuickBooks Contractor Payments
Mountain View, California, United States
What it is
QuickBooks Contractor Payments helps businesses pay independent contractors and prepare 1099 filings. The listed Contractor Payments plan costs $12.50 a month and includes up to 20 contractors, unlimited payments, and unlimited 1099 e-files; each additional contractor costs $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 complete W-9 forms and provide bank deposit details online. Payment data automatically syncs with QuickBooks Online, and sensitive contractor tax information is encrypted. The service is available on Android, iOS, and the web. The product page lists a 30-day trial, although the separate free-trial field says no. Support resources include help articles, video tutorials, and an online community. Sales phone support is listed Monday through Friday from 5 AM to 6 PM PT and Saturday from 7 AM to 4 PM PT. The Contractor Payments + Simple Start bundle includes QuickBooks Payments invoicing and connects one online sales channel to sync with QuickBooks.
