# 1099 & Contractor Reporting for Payroll Managers with Gusto

> AI identifies 1099-eligible vendors from ADP Workforce Now, chases missing W-9s, prepares 1099-NEC and 1099-MISC filings, and submits to the IRS — January 31 becomes a non-event. Purpose-built for teams running Gusto — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.

## The Problem

January 31 1099 deadlines catch every Multi-State Payroll firm off-guard — W-9s are missing, vendor records are inconsistent, and e-file rejections cascade.

## What We Build in Gusto

AI identifies 1099-eligible vendors from ADP Workforce Now, chases missing W-9s, prepares 1099-NEC and 1099-MISC filings, and submits to the IRS — January 31 becomes a non-event. Purpose-built for teams running Gusto — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.

## Gusto Integration Approach

1. **Audit your Gusto configuration.** We map the specific Gusto objects, custom fields, and workflows the automation needs to touch for your multi-state payroll practice.
2. **Build on the Gusto API or agent.** Integration happens inside Gusto — no data leaves the system, no parallel tool for your team to learn, no license changes.
3. **Human-in-the-loop handoff.** Every automation routes exceptions back to a human in Gusto with full context — AI handles the 80%, your team owns the judgment calls.
