watch year-to-date totals

every payment from pawpaw, bluejay, or pecan to a 1099-tagged contractor adds to their ytd. anyone over $600 gets the "1099 needed" flag automatically — that's the federal threshold.

  1. 1

    open the sweetgum dashboard

    the contractor list shows ytd paid and payment count per person.

  2. 2

    use the year filter

    flip between this year and last. useful in january when you're filing for the year that just ended.

  3. 3

    watch the over-$600 flag

    anyone over $600 gets the "1099 needed" flag. that's the federal reporting threshold — you have to issue them a 1099-nec.

    tip

    the flag is a hint, not a substitute for tax advice. some payments don't count toward the 1099 threshold (corporations, attorneys for legal services have their own rules). when in doubt, ask your cpa.
