Can we send 1099's to a vendor who had not givien us a W-9 or Tax ID? If so, would you just leave the Tax ID area blank in Quickbooks, and check mark the send box? Thanks

You'll need your vendor tax ID, @julie-miller.

To set up your vendor for 1099 in your QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT):

1. Go to the Vendors menu and select Vendor Center.
2. Select the desired vendor and click the Tax Settings section in the Edit Vendor window.
3. Enter the Tax ID of your vendor in the VENDOR TAX ID field and ensure to put a check in the Vendor eligible for 1099 checkbox, then click OK. 

Then to map the accounts:

1. Go to the Vendors menu and select Print/E-file 1099s and click 1099 Wizard.
2. Click get Started and click Continue to open the Map vendor payment accounts page.

I also recommend consulting with your accountant for guidance if you're unsure on which account to use. That way, we'll ensure the accuracy of data entered in your 1099.
