1099Pro Cloud makes it easy to bring in your data — no matter where it’s coming from. You have three flexible options:
Use a template: Download our ready-to-go Excel template, fill it out, and upload it — no mapping required. You can also export data from another system (like NetSuite) into our format for a seamless transition.
Use a custom format: Already have your own Excel file? Simply upload it and match your column headers to our fields. The system guides you through each step for quick and accurate mapping.
Use IRS FIRE format (Pub 1220): If you’re switching from another 1099 software, you can upload your existing .txt file formatted in the IRS 1220 layout — we’ll handle the rest.
Each option includes built-in validation checks to help catch missing fields or formatting issues before you file, so you can spend less time troubleshooting and more time filing with confidence.
