Before you start
Does OpenBooks determine final 1099 reportability?
OpenBooks prepares the evidence and potential treatment. Your authorized tax preparer confirms reportability and files the returns.
Can OpenBooks request missing W-9 information?
The package can identify and group missing names, tax IDs, addresses, and entity classifications for follow-up before filing.
Can I edit the draft before anything happens?
Yes. OpenBooks prepares a private draft and surfaces questions. You can correct the narrative, classifications, figures, and recipients before approval.
Does OpenBooks make the final decision or submit for me?
No. OpenBooks prepares and organizes the work. Your authorized human reviews every consequential decision and handles certification or final submission where required.
How is each number verified?
Figures stay linked to the underlying ledger, transactions, and available evidence so reviewers can trace the source instead of relying on a summary alone.
What if my books are not ready?
Start anyway. OpenBooks identifies the missing prerequisites and unresolved items so you have a concrete checklist instead of discovering gaps at the deadline.
