FAQ
Do I need an account?
No. Pro is unlocked with a license key you receive after checkout. Paste it into Ninesift once on each browser you use.
Is it priced per form or per client?
No. One Pro license covers every payments file and client while it's active, which suits bookkeepers doing 1099s for several businesses.
Can I cancel?
Yes. Cancel monthly and yearly plans anytime from the customer portal link in your receipt, and Pro stays active until the end of the paid period. The 7-day pass never renews.
Do you offer refunds?
If Ninesift can't read your payments file or works out a 1099 decision incorrectly, contact us within 14 days of purchase for a full refund.
What does Ninesift do?
It reads your year's vendor payments and works out which payees need a 1099-NEC or 1099-MISC, the amount for each box, who you still need a W-9 from, and the filing deadlines. It doesn't file or mail forms.
Is my data uploaded?
No. Your file is read by JavaScript in your browser tab and never sent to us or anyone else. Payments and TINs aren't stored, so closing the tab clears them. Your settings (tax year, account mappings, corporation names) can be saved in this browser.
Which files can I use?
CSV, tab-separated or Excel with one row per payment. Date, payee and amount are required; payment method, account and memo are optional. QuickBooks Online Transaction Detail by Account and expense reports are recognised. A separate vendor list can add entity type, W-9 status, TIN and address. Download the template to see the layout.
What's free?
Importing and checking any number of payments, the decision counts and totals (forms to file, NEC and MISC amounts, card payments excluded, W-9s needed), every check, plus full rows for the first 10 payees. Pro shows and exports everything: all payees, the Excel workbook, the forms-to-file CSV, the W-9 list and the payee and payment CSVs.
What isn't covered?
Filing, mailing and TIN matching, state-only 1099 rules, backup withholding calculations, 1099-INT, 1099-DIV, 1099-K and 1042-S. Fishing boat proceeds, crop insurance, section 409A and direct sales boxes aren't filled.
Is this tax advice?
No. Ninesift applies the rules in the IRS instructions for Forms 1099-MISC and 1099-NEC to the data you provide. Check the results, and ask your tax adviser about anything unusual. It isn't affiliated with the IRS, Intuit or Xero.
