Avalara launches new APIs for 1099 & W-9 compliance automation, allowing businesses to streamline processes. Features include collecting W-9 forms, validating tax IDs, e-filing with the IRS, and more. The goal is to save time and improve efficiency by automating the compliance process.

The APIs integrate with existing business platforms, facilitating requests for W-9s, IRS form processing, and compliance workflow steps. Avalara’s system brings together businesses, vendors, and the IRS, automating tasks such as tax ID matching and address validation. Updates on IRS filing statuses can trigger further actions like text alerts.

Key features of the APIs include on-demand system access, streamlined operations, and improved accuracy through automation. Avalara’s general manager highlights the flexibility and automation capabilities of the new APIs, emphasizing the commitment to expansion in the 1099 and W-9 compliance market.
