FreshBooks + 1099 Reporting: Complete Workflow
Preparing for 1099 reporting and using FreshBooks? Businesses issuing 1099s need to verify contractor payments against bank statements. Manually cross-referencing PDFs with payment records is time-consuming and error-prone. BankScan AI bridges the gap between your bank's PDF statements and FreshBooks's import feature.
BankScan AI → FreshBooks for 1099 Reporting
Convert bank statement PDFs to CSV / OFX formatted for FreshBooks import. Convert bank statements to Excel to quickly filter and identify all contractor payments, verify 1099 amounts, and ensure IRS compliance before January filing deadlines.
How It Works
Upload your bank statement PDF
Supports all major banks. Upload Full calendar year (January 1 to December 31), as 1099-NEC and 1099-MISC are reported on a calendar year basis of statements.
AI formats for FreshBooks
Output as CSV / OFX with Date, Description, Amount — FreshBooks supports single amount column (negative for expenses) or separate Debit/Credit columns — dates in YYYY-MM-DD or MM/DD/YYYY.

Import for 1099 Reporting into FreshBooks
After converting your bank statements for 1099 reporting:
- In FreshBooks, go to Banking > Add Account > Import Transactions from File
- Upload your CSV or OFX file, map the columns, and import
Common Import Issues
FreshBooks limits imports to 500 transactions per file. For longer periods, split into monthly files. OFX import is generally smoother than CSV.
