Is there anyway to switch a vendor to a contractor?

I'm sharing more information about switching your vendor to contractor list, @nellpark.

Currently, QuickBooks Online cannot switch your vendor to a contractor. However, we can manually add your vendor name to the contractor. Here's how:

1. On the left panel, click Expenses.
2. Select Contractors.
3. On the right side, choose Add a Contractor.
4. Provide your contractor's name and email.
5. Hit Add Contractor.

Please note that you need to ensure changing or adding an initial to your contractor's name, as QBO will not allow a duplicate name. If you want to track your vendor's 1099 instead, follow these steps:

1. Go to Vendors, and then click the vendor name.
2. On the upper right, select Edit.
3. Under Additional Info, check the box for Track payments for 1099.
4. Hit Save.
