Ask any wedding professional what their least favorite time of year is, and you’ll probably hear the same answer: tax season. It’s not just the paperwork, it’s the hours spent tracking payments, chasing down contractors for W-9s, and trying to make sense of a year’s worth of transactions when you’d rather be creating beautiful work for your clients.

At Maroo, we believe your time is better spent doing what you love. That’s why we built Tax Compliance directly into your payment workflow, designed to take the stress out of W9 and 1099 management.

Automate W9 Collection with Every Payment

With Maroo, you don’t have to wait until the end of the year to collect tax forms. The platform automatically gathers W9 details as your contractors get paid.

When you send a payment through the Maroo portal, your contractor is prompted to complete their W9 information right away. If any details are missing, you can easily send a reminder directly from your Maroo hub.

Once submitted, each contractor’s W9 form is securely stored and available to download at any time, not just during tax season. You’ll always have the information you need right at your fingertips.

Stay Organized with the Reporting Tab

Inside the Reporting tab in your Maroo portal, you get a clear overview of every contractor you’ve paid — including their name, email, total payments, and W9 status.

If their W9 data is complete, you can instantly download the form. If not, just click “Send Reminder,” and Maroo will handle the outreach for you. It’s all about giving you control and visibility without the administrative hassle.

One-Click 1099 Filing When Tax Season Arrives

Because Maroo keeps your contractor data organized all year long, generating 1099s becomes simple and stress-free. When it’s time to file, you’ll already have everything ready — no scrambling through spreadsheets or gathering last-minute documents.

What used to take days now takes minutes.

Built for Wedding Planners, Photographers, and Creatives

Maroo isn’t just a payment tool, it’s a centralized hub built specifically for the wedding and creative industries, combining B2B payments and automated tax compliance in one place.

It helps you stay organized, compliant, and confident year-round. So when tax season arrives, you won’t be chasing down missing forms. You’ll simply download, file, and move on to planning your next beautiful event.

With Maroo, the scramble ends and simplicity begins.
