Hello, dhamill. The following are the main reasons why contractors are not showing in the 1099 MISC form: The vendor payments were not set to be track under 1099. You can check this in your vendor’s settings. Go to Expense>Vendors. Click the vendor from the list. Click Edit at the upper right corner. Check if Track payments for 1099 was selected at the bottom. Payments for this vendor are excluded. Payments to 1099 vendors made via credit card, debit card, or third party system, such as PayPal, are excluded from the 1099-MISC calculations. The posting account for the vendor payment was not map for 1099. Here’s how to map the account: Go to Expense>Vendors. Click Prepare 1099s at the upper right corner. Select Continue your 1099s. Go to step 2 (Accounts). Select the account where the payments for the vendors are posted. Please reach us again if there’s anything else we can help you with.

Hello, dhamill.

The following are the main reasons why contractors are not showing in the 1099 MISC form:

The vendor payments were not set to be track under 1099. You can check this in your vendor’s settings.

Go to Expense>Vendors.
Click the vendor from the list.
Click Edit at the upper right corner.
Check if Track payments for 1099 was selected at the bottom.

Payments for this vendor are excluded. Payments to 1099 vendors made via credit card, debit card, or third party system, such as PayPal, are excluded from the 1099-MISC calculations.
The posting account for the vendor payment was not map for 1099. Here’s how to map the account:

Go to Expense>Vendors.
Click Prepare 1099s at the upper right corner.
Select Continue your 1099s.
Go to step 2 (Accounts).
Select the account where the payments for the vendors are posted.

The problem I'm having is I had to add 3 contractors who didn't have the "track as 1099 contractors" box checked. They are in the QB list of contractors with all the others now, but when QB forwards me to the e-file link, the 3 new names are not listed. The file just shows 14 1099's have been filed. No option or status for the additional 3. Any thoughts?

Hi there, dsbanker.

You'll want to make sure that the contractor's payments and accounts are mapped correctly.

Here are the steps:

On the left panel click Expenses, and choose Vendors.
Click the Prepare 1099s button located in the upper right-hand corner.
Click the Continue your 1099s button.
Go to the Account section, check the box and select the account from the drop-down menu.
Click Next until you finish preparing the 1099s.

You can also check this article for more information: E-file through the 1099 E-File Service (QuickBooks Online).

OMG!!! I am having the same issue. I am losing my mind!!! 😖 Did you ever get a solution to this issue? I have over 80 contractors that have exceeded the threshold, only 23 are showing. The others are in a separate list saying that are under the threshold amount. I have checked the boxes to track for 1099. No PayPal or credit card payments. I am SO SO frustrated!! Is there anything you can share with me that solved this problem? I would be so grateful.

(I am using QuickBooks Online on an iPad Pro - not a desktop)

I know it can be rough when your contractors show under the threshold amount, Wynnesmom. I'm here to ensure this gets resolved.

I appreciate you for sharing the steps you've performed to fix this. Since your contractors still show under the threshold amount, I'd suggest making sure you mapped the correct accounts.

Here's how:

Go to the Expenses menu and then choose the Prepare 1099's button.
Set up your company information and then click Next.
Put a checkmark in Box 7: Nonemployee Compensation checkbox.
In the drop-down list, choose all the accounts you used in all your contractor transactions.
Select Next and then click on Finish Later to complete the setup.

If you've mapped the correct accounts already, I'd suggest clearing the app's data. This helps refresh the app and eliminates common issues that cause unexpected behavior. I'll show you how:

Go to Menu ☰,
Tap Help & Feedback, then select Refresh Data,
Select Refresh.

If the issue persists, I'd recommend accessing your QuickBooks Online account via a supported browser. This helps us determine if this is a device-related issue.

In case none of these fixes the problem, I'd suggest contacting our QuickBooks Support Team. They're equipped with tools to check the cause. It'll also allow them to submit a ticket to our engineering team to alert them about the issue if necessary.

Additionally, I've included an article that'll help you run a couple of different reports to assist you in preparing and filing your 1099s forms: 1099 Report for Vendors and Vendor Payments.

Please come back and let me know how it goes, Wynnesmom. It's my priority to ensure this issue gets fixed. I'll be here to help you out always.

Thank you for your reply. Problem not resolved. I had already checked all of the suggestions before I posted. I’ve have seen many others with the same issues, I was hoping that someone that had run into the same problem may chime in if they found the “fix”. I am soooo frustrated!!
