Use Cases

Freelancers & Self-Employed

Freelancers receiving multiple 1099-NECs from different clients use FormX to extract and consolidate their income data quickly at tax time - eliminating manual transcription into tax software or spreadsheets.

Accounting & Tax Firms

Tax preparers receive 1099s from dozens of clients every January. FormX lets them batch-process 1099 PDFs and push structured data directly into their tax preparation workflows, eliminating manual entry during the busiest season of the year.

HR & Payroll Teams

Platforms that issue 1099s to contractors at scale use FormX's API to verify and reconcile payment data, cross-checking issued 1099s against payment records without manual review.

Gig Workers & Platform Earners

Uber drivers, Airbnb hosts, Etsy sellers, and Fiverr freelancers now receive 1099-NECs from the platforms they work with. Many receive multiple 1099s from different sources in the same tax year. FormX lets them upload all their 1099s and extract the income figures into a single spreadsheet - making it easy to total their earnings and hand off to a tax preparer or file directly.

Financial Services & Banking

Banks and lenders require 1099 income verification for loan applications and credit decisions. FormX integrates directly into underwriting workflows to automatically extract and validate non-employment income from 1099 forms.

1099 vs W-2
What's the Difference?


If you're comparing contractor (1099) income to employee (W-2) income, the key difference is tax responsibility. As a 1099 contractor, you pay self-employment tax (15.3%) on top of income tax whereas a W-2 employee splits this with their employer. A rough rule of thumb: multiply your desired W-2 salary by 1.25–1.4 to find an equivalent 1099 rate that covers your additional tax burden and lack of benefits

FormX extracts data from both W-2 and 1099 forms. If you need to compare income figures across both document types, upload each to FormX and get structured data for both in seconds.

What does this W-2 extractor do?

What 1099 fields does FormX extract?

Taxpayer Identification Numbers are masked by default. Schedule a Demo to see how simple it is to automate 1099 form extraction.

What file formats does the 1099 extractor accept?

FormX accepts PDF, JPG, and PNG. This includes scanned paper 1099s, photographs taken on a phone, and digitally generated PDFs from payer systems. Both standard and corrected 1099 forms are supported. Contact us for integrating with different tools to automate your process.

Is it free to extract W-2 data?

Yes - this free tool allows single 1099 extraction with no signup required. Batch processing of multiple 1099s and API access require a free trial account. Reach out to us and we can setup a demo account for you.

Is it safe to upload 1099 forms?

FormX is ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II certified. All uploaded documents are encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (AES-256). Documents are not retained after extraction. Read our data privacy policy for more.

Can FormX extract W-2 data via API for batch processing?

Yes. FormX provides a REST API that accepts 1099 PDFs and images, returning structured JSON or Excel. API documentation is available at here. You can also customise extracted fields through the FormX portal.

What is the difference between a W-2 and a 1099, and can FormX extract both?

A W-2 is issued by employers to employees and reports wages and tax withholdings. A 1099-NEC is issued to non-employees such as freelancers and contractors and reports other types of income. FormX can extract data from both form types within the same workflow.

Can I tailor what I need to extract from invoices or receipts?

A W-2 is issued by employers to employees and reports wages and tax withholdings. A 1099 is issued to independent contractors and reports non-employment income. FormX extracts data from both form types. If you receive 1099s alongside W-2s, FormX can process them within the same workflow.
