Zenwork-Powered 1099 Filing: End-to-End Compliance, Inside Qount
Meet a faster, fully integrated way to manage 1099 filing—from enrollment to submission—without ever leaving Qount.
This release introduces an end-to-end 1099 filing experience powered by Zenwork, built to simplify one of the most time-consuming compliance workflows firms manage each year. By removing manual steps and consolidating the process into a single system, firms can reduce risk and gain clearer visibility across every stage of filing.
Instead of stitching together tools and exports, firms can manage the entire 1099 process directly inside Qount—reviewing data, resolving issues, and moving filings forward without breaking their workflow.
What It Does for Your Firm
The new 1099 experience brings every step of the filing workflow into one clear, intuitive flow.
A Unified 1099 Dashboard
Firms get a real-time view of all enrolled clients, including vendor counts, missing information, filing status, EIN availability, and QuickBooks integration status. This gives teams immediate insight into readiness and potential risk across their entire client portfolio.
Clients can be enrolled individually or in bulk directly from Qount’s CRM, automatically placing them into the 1099 workflow.
QAI-Assisted Chart of Accounts Mapping
Once a client is enrolled, QAI analyzes transaction data and maps the chart of accounts using intelligent classification. Each suggested mapping includes a confidence score and supporting rationale, allowing teams to review, approve, or adjust with clarity and control.
This significantly reduces manual review time and helps ensure transactions are properly categorized before filing begins.
Vendor Management with Zenwork Integration
Within each client, firms manage vendors through a dedicated Vendor Dashboard. From here, teams can:
- Identify 1099-eligible vendors based on transaction thresholds
- Collect W-9 forms directly through Zenwork
- Run TIN matching to validate taxpayer information
- Track vendor-level filing readiness at a glance
All required data is validated prior to submission, reducing the likelihood of incomplete or rejected filings.
Review, Submit, and File—All in One Flow
Firms can preview the 1099 form exactly as it will be filed, make edits when needed, and submit directly from Qount. Once submitted, filings are processed through Zenwork, with real-time status updates reflected back in Qount automatically.
Optional USPS mailing with tracking is available as an add-on, allowing firms to deliver copies to vendors without manual handling.
Why It Matters
- Efficiency: Eliminate exports, re-entry, and disconnected systems
- Accuracy: Built-in validations help ensure required fields are completed before submission
- Visibility: Track filing, submission, and mailing status in one place
- Scalability: Handle high-volume filing without adding operational overhead
By embedding Zenwork’s filing capabilities directly into Qount, firms gain a compliance workflow that is faster, more reliable, and fully connected to their existing client and financial data.

QAI Hub: More Control, Clearer Priorities
QAI Hub helps firms focus on the work that matters most—by continuously analyzing activity across the firm and surfacing what needs attention.
This release introduces a new List View in QAI Hub, giving firms greater visibility and control over how work is prioritized, while preserving the intelligence behind QAI’s recommendations.
What’s New
List View for Priority Management
In addition to the existing card view, firms can now switch to a List View that displays tasks in a structured, sortable format.
This view allows teams to:
- See task priorities in a ranked list
- Reorder work using drag-and-drop
- Override priority scores when business context requires it
Human-Guided Intelligence
When a priority is adjusted, QAI prompts the user to provide a reason. These inputs help QAI learn from real-world decisions, improving future recommendations while keeping accountants firmly in control.
Why It Matters
Priorities change quickly in accounting firms—client needs shift, deadlines overlap, and exceptions are the rule, not the edge case.
With List View and editable priority scoring, firms can:
- Balance automation with professional judgment
- Adjust workloads without losing visibility
- Maintain trust in the system while staying flexible
QAI Hub continues to act as a central intelligence layer—surfacing insights, highlighting risk, and supporting better decisions—now with even more transparency and control.
Key Highlights
- New List View alongside existing card view
- Drag-and-drop task reordering
- Editable priority scores with contextual feedback
- Continuous learning informed by firm decisions

These releases reflect how Qount continues to evolve the platform—bringing critical workflows into one place and reducing friction in day-to-day firm operations.
Whether you’re preparing for tax season or managing work across teams and clients, the goal is the same: fewer handoffs, clearer visibility, and systems that support how firms actually operate.
