1099 handling for officials

1099 handling for your officials

GameSource handles 1099s for officials, so leagues and assignors aren't stuck manually reconciling payments and preparing year-end forms. Officials provide their tax information, GameSource verifies their TINs, and payments made through GameSource feed each official's 1099 totals — then GameSource generates the 1099-NEC forms, files them with the IRS, and makes them available to officials.

The year-end scramble

Why tax season is painful

When pay lives in spreadsheets and a separate payment app, January means rebuilding the whole year by hand.

Chasing W-9s and taxpayer IDs from officials months after they worked.

Reconciling payments across spreadsheets, bank records, and a payment app.

Mismatched names and TINs that bounce back and have to be fixed by hand.

Preparing and getting forms to every official before the deadline.

How 1099 handling works

From tax info to filed forms

  • Officials provide tax info

    Officials enter their taxpayer information (W-9 / TIN) in GameSource, so it's on file well before year end.

  • GameSource verifies TINs

    Each official's TIN is verified, so names and numbers are right before any forms are generated.

  • Payments feed 1099 totals

    Every payment made through GameSource is recorded against the official, so 1099 totals build from real payment data.

  • GameSource generates 1099-NEC forms

    The 1099-NEC forms are generated from those payment totals — no exporting, re-keying, or reconciling a spreadsheet.

  • GameSource files with the IRS

    GameSource files the 1099-NEC forms with the IRS, so leagues and assignors don't handle year-end filing themselves.

  • Officials get their forms

    GameSource makes each form available to the official — one consolidated 1099 for payments processed through GameSource, even across multiple GameSource organizations.
