What I Wish Someone Told Me About Contractor Invoices
Being a 1099 contractor means you're your own billing department. Here's how to get it right the first time.
Why You Need Invoices (Even for Small Jobs)
Unlike employees who get automatic pay stubs, you need to create a paper trail. Every invoice you send is documentation for taxes, disputes, and proving your income if you ever need a loan.
Key Elements for 1099 Contractors
Your invoice should always include your Business Name (or full name), Contact Info, the Client's Info, a unique Invoice Number, the Services Rendered, and clear Payment Terms.
Security & Compliance
Ensure your invoice includes your Tax ID (SSN or EIN) if required by the client for 1099-NEC tax filing. Our template allows you to securely add this information without storing it on any server (Local Storage only).
Invoice the Moment You Finish
Don't wait until the end of the month to invoice. Send it while the work is fresh in everyone's mind. The longer you wait, the more likely it gets questioned or "lost."
