The Tax Center helps you track payments to team members and file 1099-NEC forms with the IRS.
Core Principle: "Assume Paid"
When a gig is completed and a team member was on the roster, the payment is auto-recorded. No manual entry needed for standard gigs.
The $600 Threshold
The IRS requires a 1099-NEC if you paid someone $600 or more in a calendar year. The Tax Center tracks this automatically.
