2025 1099-NEC recipients into the e-file service's import file

contractor-1099-list·time budget 1200 s·source

The request

The task request supplied to the adapter, alongside the workspace below. Runtime instructions, authorized tools and skills also affect the system. Containerized runs withhold host-side references; local mode is not an isolation boundary.

Nadia needs our 2025 1099 list in the Filewell import format - their template and notes are in the folder, and her email says who gets one. Save it as 1099_vendors.csv.

Workspace

  • email_from_accountant.txt
  • filewell_1099nec_template.csv
  • filewell_import_notes.txt
  • vendor_transactions_2024-12_to_2026-01.csv
  • w9_roster.xlsx

Expected deliverables

  • 1099_vendors.csv

Recorded acceptance checks

The table uses check names and outcomes from the frozen campaign ledger. Acceptance requires all required predicates to pass; a predicate may itself contain a tolerance or coverage threshold. Its scope is part of the measurement contract.
