This system was designed to help small business owners organize worker records, monitor compliance issues, and maintain documentation related to employees and independent contractors. The dashboard works best when used consistently throughout the year rather than only during tax season.
Enter every worker you pay, including employees, contractors, freelancers, and service providers. The system allows you to track multiple workers in one centralized dashboard.
Choose whether the worker is currently being treated as an employee, contractor, or remains uncertain. If you are unsure, review our Employee vs Contractor guide and use the classification tools included in your Business Membership.
Update payment amounts during the year and track whether you have collected a W-9 and issued a Form 1099 when required. The dashboard helps identify missing documentation and potential compliance issues.
The system highlights workers that may require additional attention, such as missing W-9 forms, unissued 1099s, or higher classification risk. Review these alerts regularly and document your actions.
Use the export and reporting features to maintain organized records for your accountant, tax preparer, payroll provider, or internal files. Consistent documentation may help demonstrate your efforts to maintain compliance.
This system is designed as an organizational and educational tool. It does not provide legal, tax, or employment law advice. Worker classification rules vary by federal and state law, and businesses should consult qualified professionals when necessary.

Managing worker compliance is an important part of protecting your business — but many business owners also want to protect their personal assets, real estate holdings, business interests, and family legacy. Our Estate Planning Membership was created to help members organize and prepare critical estate planning and asset protection documents in one place.
