Run the full 1099 and W-2 lifecycle on one worker record
Wingspan runs 1099 contractors and seasonal, temporary, and part-time W-2 employees from the same worker record, with the payroll and hiring steps each engagement requires.
Move a worker between 1099 and W-2 without starting over
Run each engagement as 1099 or W-2. When a worker moves to W-2, Wingspan collects the federal W-4 and whichever state withholding forms the new jurisdiction requires. The record and its history stay connected if the relationship changes again.
Run W-2 payroll next to your 1099 payments
Calculate taxes across all 50 states and more than 7,400 local jurisdictions. Wingspan calculates gross-to-net pay, tracks employer-side taxes per client, and generates pay stubs, while 1099 and W-2 payroll runs remain separate.
Clear the I-9 before payroll runs
W-2 hires complete an I-9. A 1099 engagement never raises one. The employee completes Section 1 by their first day, and Section 2 needs someone to inspect their documents within three business days of the hire date. Anyone other than the employee can serve as your authorized representative, and you stay responsible for what they do. Wingspan tracks both deadlines and flags an employee whose I-9 is unfinished before the pay cycle closes.
E-Verify when you participate
E-Verify follows your enrollment with USCIS. When you are enrolled, a case opens alongside the I-9 and its status stays on the record, from pending through authorization or a Final Nonconfirmation. When you are not enrolled, no case opens and the I-9 stands on its own. Either way Wingspan keeps a record of who completed each section and when.
Built for the flexible workforce
Wingspan is built for seasonal, temporary, and part-time W-2 employees alongside 1099 contractors. A conventional corporate payroll platform remains the better fit for a stable, salaried workforce with no flexible component.
