Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# 1099 Contractor Management

Track payments to independent contractors, determine who needs a 1099-NEC, collect W-9s, and file on time to avoid penalties.

## When do you need to file a 1099-NEC?

File a 1099-NEC for each person or non-corporate entity to whom you paid **$600 or more** during the calendar year for services performed in the course of your trade or business.

**Threshold change for 2026:** Starting with tax year 2026, the reporting threshold increases from $600 to **$2,000**. This means fewer 1099s to file, but you should still track all contractor payments — the threshold could change again.

## Who needs a 1099-NEC?

| Payee type | 1099-NEC required? | Notes |
|-----------|-------------------|-------|
| Individual (sole proprietor, freelancer) | **Yes** if ≥$600 | Most common scenario |
| Single-member LLC (disregarded entity) | **Yes** if ≥$600 | Treated as individual for tax purposes |
| Partnership / Multi-member LLC | **Yes** if ≥$600 | |
| S-Corporation | **Generally no** | **Exception:** payments for legal services and medical/health care services always require a 1099 regardless of entity type |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add receiptor-ai/bookkeeping-skills/contractor-1099@sha256:f5205c02fb773160

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260324.5e6a98c, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
