WHY is the 1099 Contractor Balance Summary report showing all $0.00?

Welcome, @ rockstarbookschi.

 

I’m happy to assist you on why the 1099 Contractor Balance Summary Report shows zero. You can create a separate expense transaction to record the payment. This is to check if the contractor will show on the 1099 form. Below are the steps:

 

  1. Click the Plus icon.
  2. Under Vendors, select Expense.
  3. Enter the details of the transactions.
  4. Ensure that the transactions don't indicate a DBT. If they do, you'll have to change it to EFT
  5. Save and close.

 

Here are some articles that may help you reports:

Perhaps I didn't word the question correctly. ALL the vendors that are due a 1099 are listed as having a $0.00 on the 1099 Contractor Balance Summary Report BUT do have an amount when the detail report is run.  All we're paid via a check with a check #. Please advise. Thank you.

I'm sorry again as I already tried this.

There is no "display" or "Advanced" buttons anywhere.

 

Again, I am trying to open:

Hello there,  rockstarbookschi

 

There are a number of reasons why the 1099 Contractor Balance Summary report shows zero amount.

 

First your vendor wasn't set to track the payments for 1099. For this scenario, we can modify your vendor's information and make them eligible for 1099. Here's how:

 

  1. Go to Expense on the left panel.
  2. Click the Vendors section and select the name of the vendor to edit their information.
  3. Hit the Edit button and tick the Track payments for 1099 box.
  4. Click Save.

 

The second one is all about the payments you made through credit, debit and other payment networks like Paypal are excluded to this report. Otherwise, all those transactions should be shown on the 1099 Contractor Balance Summary report.

 

Though, you can also try to change the Accounting method of the report. It could be the reason why it's all showing zero and click the Run report button. Please take a look the screenshot below:

I have an articles to share with you where we can get more information on how the said report works:

Let me clear again.

All the info is correctly entered for all the vendors. The report with detail shows the info, the summary report shows $0.00. Why does the detailed 1099 report show the information needed while the Summary report shows nothing?!

If you don't bother reading the info I am looking for, please don't post anything. Thank you.

Hi there, rockstarbookschi.

 

Since you already entered all vendor's information correctly and the report still shows $0.00, let's use a private browser. This way, you're able to confirm if the cache is causing the report to shows zero amounts.

 

Here's how to use private browser:

 

  • For Google Chrome: Press Ctrl + Shift + N
  • For Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox : Press Ctrl + Shift + P
  • For Safari: Press Command + Shift + N

 
Once the 1099 Contractor Balance Summary report shows the information you need, return to your default browser and clear the cache. Clearing it will refresh the system, and you'll be able to work again. However, if the issue persists, try using other supported browsers.

 

If the issue continue to occur after following the troubleshooting above, I suggest contacting our Customer Support Team.

 

Here's how to contact them:

 

1. Open your QuickBooks Account.
2. At the top right, click the Help icon.
3. Click Contact Us.
4. Under What can we help you with?, enter any concerns.
5. Click Let's Talk.
6. You'll be routed into the Choose a way to connect with us page.
7. Select how you want to contact them and fill in the information.
