If you run a consultant business in California — whether in Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose, or any smaller town — your invoices need to comply with both federal IRS rules and California-specific sales tax requirements. This generator pre-fills the correct California state sales tax rate (7.25%) and formats every invoice so it's ready for 1099-NEC federal filings and CA state tax records.

IRS 1099-NEC Rules (California Contractors)

Under current US IRS rules, any single client that pays you $600 or more in a calendar year must issue you a Form 1099-NEC. Every invoice you send should include your legal business name, EIN or SSN, the client's full details, a unique invoice number, itemized line items, and the total. Keep PDF copies for at least 3 years (7 years if you underreport income by 25%+). This generator formats all of these fields correctly.

California Consultant Invoice Generator — FAQ

In most cases, California does not tax pure labor/services for consultant, only tangible goods (parts, materials) sold with the service. The state base rate is 7.25%. If you sell materials, add sales tax to that portion. Verify your specific situation with the California Department of Revenue.
