Hey everyone — Seth here, founder of W-9 Nudge 👋 I built this because collecting W-9s from contractors is one of those small business tasks that should be simple but always turns into a year-end headache. If you’ve ever filed 1099s, you probably know the drill: • January rolls around • You realize you’re missing W-9s • Contractors don’t respond • The deadline is coming fast Most small teams end up chasing people with awkward emails like: “Hey, can you send your W-9?” …and then repeating that message five times. I originally built a lightweight internal tool to solve this for a few small businesses I work with. The goal was simple: Make W-9 collection happen before the first payment, not during tax season panic. So W-9 Nudge lets you: • Send secure W-9 upload links (no login required for vendors) • Track who has responded • Automatically send reminders • Store files securely for year-end filing Basically: turn a messy email chase into a simple workflow. I intentionally kept it extremely focused. There are already huge accounting platforms — but none of them solve this one small problem cleanly. Curious to hear from others here: How are you currently collecting W-9s from contractors? Email? Accounting software? A shared folder? I’d love feedback on the product and what features would make it more useful for you. Thanks for checking it out 🙏 If you deal with contractors regularly, what’s the most annoying part of the 1099 process for you?
