What you receive

A polished PDF generated in seconds from your selections and published to your secure Wi Filings customer portal, plus free self-service revisions for 7 days. Your email says the document is ready and links to the portal; the legal document is not attached to the email.

Classification notice: Facts of the relationship control classification under applicable law. This agreement documents the parties’ selections; it does not make someone a 1099 contractor. Wi Filings LLC is not a law firm and does not provide legal or tax advice.

1. Start your agreement

You’re creating: Wisconsin Independent Contractor (1099) Agreement — $49

Parties or work outside Wisconsin? Use the $59 1099 Contractor Agreement.

Create a mostly blank agreement to fill in commercial terms by hand later. Party identity, location, and governing law will still be typed into the document.

Blank mode is on: deal-term fields are disabled below and will print as ruled blanks. Clause choices such as intellectual property and confidentiality remain selectable so the agreement stays internally consistent.

2. Tell us about the parties and project

Plain-English labels are shown first; the final agreement uses the conventional terms Client and Contractor.

3. Is this a good fit?

Review these considerations before deciding whether this self-help document fits your situation. Different legitimate contractor relationships may answer them differently.

This agreement documents the parties’ intent to use a non-employee contractor relationship; the real working relationship still controls classification.
The base agreement says the contractor controls its business operations while the project terms describe services, results, deadlines, and acceptance. Compare that language with the parties’ intended arrangement.
If the parties have specific arrangements for tools, equipment, workspace, or other resources, describe them clearly in the services, deliverables, payment, or out-of-scope terms.
This base agreement is non-exclusive and says the contractor may serve other customers. Review whether that matches the parties’ intended arrangement.
Licensed, regulated, or professional services may require additional terms, disclosures, permits, or documents under the rules that apply to that work.
An existing or threatened dispute may make a basic self-help agreement less useful for resolving the parties’ concerns.
This product does not include a non-compete or non-solicitation clause, custom drafting, or advice about classification, tax, legal, or financial strategy.

These are considerations, not a pass/fail test. The facts of the working relationship determine classification. Wi Filings does not decide classification or provide tax, legal, financial, or business-strategy advice. You decide whether this agreement fits your situation.

I’ve read these good-fit notes and I’m choosing this self-help document for my situation.

It keeps the agreement’s governing law, venue, and customer questions focused on a Wisconsin engagement. If the client, contractor, and work are in another supported state, use the $59 1099 Contractor Agreement.
