PayQuicker integrates Avalara to automate tax reporting

By Vriti Gothi

PayQuicker has launched a new automated 1099 tax reporting solution powered by Avalara, aimed at helping businesses streamline compliance processes and reduce administrative complexity associated with contractor tax reporting in the United States.

The solution enables organisations to automate the collection and validation of tax documentation, including W-9 and other W-series forms, throughout the year rather than during the traditional filing period. By capturing and verifying payee information earlier in the payment lifecycle, the platform seeks to reduce reporting errors and minimise compliance risks.

A core feature of the system is real-time Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) matching, which validates payee details at the point of data collection. This capability is designed to help businesses avoid backup withholding notices, penalties, and corrections that can arise from inaccurate reporting information.

The solution leverages Avalara’s tax compliance infrastructure to support federal and state filing requirements, electronic delivery of forms, and ongoing regulatory updates. Businesses managing high volumes of payees can generate, file, and distribute 1099 forms through automated workflows integrated into existing payout and payment processes.

Joe Bertalli, CFO at PayQuicker, said, “Businesses need reliable, automated solutions to stay compliant without slowing down operations. By partnering with Avalara, we’re able to provide our customers with a robust 1099 solution that reduces complexity, increases accuracy, and gives them confidence in their compliance processes.”

Queenie Lee, General Manager of 1099 Reporting at Avalara, added that the collaboration supports broader efforts to automate financial compliance workflows.

“PayQuicker is focused on making complex financial workflows easier for businesses. We’re excited to power their 1099 solution with Avalara’s compliance expertise, enabling customers to automate reporting and reduce risk while staying focused on growth,” Lee said.

The launch reflects a wider trend within financial technology toward embedding compliance and tax reporting capabilities directly into payment and payout platforms. As regulatory requirements evolve and the use of independent contractors and digital payouts increases, businesses are increasingly adopting automated tools to manage reporting obligations and reduce operational risk.
