I'd be able to help you manually create a New vendor, waychan999.


However, for the employee’s transactions, enter them as Check. Afterwards, inactivate the employee.


Here are the steps to create a Vendor:

  1. In the left-hand menu, select Expense then Vendors.
  2. At the upper right corner, click the New vendor button.
  3. Set up the Vendor Information.
  4. Then Save.

Just let me know if you have other concerns. Have a good one!

Employee became inactive prior to 2020, is now a vendor however QB will not print a 1099 for him. I have him set for it, but he is not coming up in the print  1099's list

Hello there, manager1212.

 

It's possible that the Track payments for 1099 option is not checked under the vendor details. To review, here's how: 

 

  1. Go to the Expenses menu and select Vendors.
  2. Look and select the vendor's name.
  3. Go to the Vendor details tab and click Edit at the upper-right. 
  4. Scroll down to the Vendor Information screen and verify if the Track payments for 1099 checkbox is selected. 
  5. Click Save.

Then, you can prepare and print your 1099s again. 

 

Let me know how this works. I'm just around the corner to help. Take care!

Hello there, @597.

 

At this time, the option to change profile types such as Employee to Vendor or vice versa is unavailable in QuickBooks Online (QBO). As a workaround, you need to create a new vendor and leave the employee active if you still want to use it.

 

For detailed steps, you can follow the steps provided by my colleague Catherine_B above.

 

I can see how the features you're looking for would benefit and empower your business. In the meantime, I recommend sending this request straight to our product engineers through feedback. Sharing features and options that you would like implemented is how our engineers look for new product updates.

 

To send feedback, follow the below steps:

  1. Go to the Gear icon at the top.
  2. Select Feedback.
  3. Enter your comments or product suggestions. 
  4. Then select Next to submit feedback.

 

You may also visit our Feedback forum page. From there, you can see a list of other QuickBooks users who already suggested this feature, as well as the recent updates in QuickBooks.

 

If you need anything else, please let me know. I want to help in any way I can.

I think I am in the same position as this original poster. I have someone who is a former employee (prior to 2021) that became a vendor (needs a 1099 NEC). I still had her listed an am employee for her payments. 

 

She is currently an inactive employee but has transactions associated with her. 

 

I have created a new vendor under her name and marked her eligible for 1099. What steps do I need to take have the transactions assigned to the new vendor account under her name so I can issue a 1099?
