Hi, @tulsahandyman.

I know how important it is for file out the 1099’s and get them sent in. I’m happy to provide further information on why box 7 is blank. In box 7, it will show types of payments for the 1099.

For further information, please view this article about 1099-MISC box 7.

Let me know if there’s anything else I can help you with. Take care.

I did some testing and if you pay a Contractor via an Expense on a Credit Card, or a Bill Payment via a Credit Card, then they don't show on the 1099-NEC for 2020.  If you pay them via an Expense associated with a Bank Account or a Bill Payment associated with a Bank Account or Check, then they will show on the 1099 report.  So you need to create Bills or Checks, and pay from a checking account.  If you did pay on a credit card, still pay the bill from a checking account and then do a transfer from that checking account to your credit card account.  This is a work around, but it facilitates what QB is looking for.  I've created a Dummy Bank account to pay out of for this purpose called 1099 Transfer so i can pay from this fake account and then zero it out against the credit card to reconciliation purposes.

I’m having the same issue, contractors that clearly should show up on the meet threshold criteria are showing up as being below threshold

I have the same issue, vendors I have had setup for years are being listed as being under the threshold for getting a 1099 when they clearly were over the threshold amount, none of these vendors where paid by credit card, definitely a glitch

I agree we spend a lot of money for them to act like we are the ones that have the issue when it is there software that glitching. Does your vendors that should show up as needing a 1099 show up when you click the option vendors below threshold?

I appreciate such detailed information about your concern, Suzygirlnc.

You've already pointed out the possible causes as to why contractors are showing up as being below threshold instead of the other way around.

Since the issue continues after considering the recommended steps above, it would be best to contact our support for further investigation. They can help identify the cause of why contractors that should supposedly show up on the meet threshold criteria are showing up as being below the threshold.

All of my vendors are marked as 1099 vendors and show up on the list of contractors (step 3). However, no amounts show up step 4 (Review). Also, when I click on Edit the edit popup window flashes by with no opportunity to correct anything. As with previous posts, these are vendors I have used in previous years without a problem.

Hello @pneelycpa,

Thank you for letting me know you've already chosen your vendors to track 1099 payments. Let's check the account associated with every payment you made making sure is it associated to box 7 of your 1099 forms.

1. Go to Reports,
2. Under Vendors and expenses, select Transaction List by vendors.
3. Select Customize.
4. On the Report period menu, select Last year.
5. Below the Row/Columns section, select Change columns.
6. Put a checkmark on the Split box.
7. Select Filter.
8. Choose a vendor.
9. Click Run report.

Once done, you can identify the accounts associated with every payment by opening each of them. Learn more about the 1099 troubleshooting with this article: Troubleshoot common 1099 issues.

Additionally, I've got you this helpful article for guidance in preparation for the 2020 tax season: QuickBooks Online Payroll Year-end Checklist.

If there's anything else that I can help you with, please let me know by leaving any comments below. I'll be here to lend a hand.

I have the same issue. Just spend 30 minutes chatting with multiple people. While waiting for them, I opened an account at tax1099.com, and filed. 

In the end, it appears the issue for me was that "track payments for 1099" had to be checked. This can NOT be found on the "contractors" page. This can NOT be accessed via the 1099 payment page. It has to be accessed by going to expenses > vendors and then selecting vendor and clicking "track payment for 1099"

I guess in the end I win though, because the cost for filing with tax1099.com was far lower than Quickbooks would have been. I'll continue to use them in the future too.

The poor design, as well as poor customer support at intuit is beyond my belief.

Thanks for the great info! I'll follow suit and have to do the same thing. I spent many hours on the phone with support and have an open case for this ridiculous issue! How is this not resolved in an extremely critical time when we have 1099 deadlines to file by? They said I'd "get an email with an update as soon as they have one" and I've heard NOTHING.

Thank you again for the tip. I'll head over to that website today so I can finally get my 1099 filings complete!

When preparing 1099, choose box 3 other income not box 7

When preparing 1099 check box 3(other income) not box 7 and this should pull through all subs over $600

I'm having the same issue.  I have 6 vendors that exceeded the the $600 mark.  They are marked for 1099 tracking.  They all show up under contractors.  I selected Contract Labor for the 1099 match up (each contractor has a separate sub account under Contract Labor so the business owner can keep track of what each contractor gets paid).  Their names all show up in the list for 1099s.  But when I select next, no one shows up for the report.  

Hi there, timberwoodbkkpg.

Thanks for following up on this thread and for letting me know how things are looking in your QuickBooks Online account. I want to make sure you're able to view each contractor on the 1099 report.

After looking into this situation a bit further, I was able to see that the issue with the contractors not displaying on the report has been reported several other times by other users. The engineers are aware of this issue and working to get it resolved as quickly as possible. I recommend reaching out to a member of the QuickBooks Online Support Team to be added to the list of affected companies. Once you're added you'll then receive email notifications regarding updates and the solution. Here's how to get in contact with the team:

1. Click the Help button in the top right corner.

2. Select Contact Us.

3. Enter Support in the field and choose Let's talk.

4. From here you can select to receive a callback at a time that's convenient for you, or begin a live chat session with an agent.

Additionally, many other QBO users reported they were able to view their contractors on the 1099 report by choosing the custom date range and adding their own dates, rather than selecting the "Year-to-Date" or "This year" option.

With this information you'll soon be able to view the full 1099 report with each contractor listed. Please know I'm only a comment or post away if you have any other questions.

To clarify, many of us with this recent problem of 1099 contractors not showing up are not having the issue specifically with the report itself, but we are not able to file the 1099s. They all show up in the list on step 2 of the 1099 e-filing process, but when you advance to step 3, they all disappear and cut says they don’t meet the threshold (even though they do).

I spent hours on the phone with support over a week ago and had all 4 companies I manage put on this list... and haven’t heard a thing since.

This is a critical issue to not be able to file 1099s by the required deadline. I don’t know how this isn’t a MAJOR priority for Quickbooks to get resolved so close to the deadline!

I got the sense that it is not really known how bad of a problem it is because it took a very, very long time for the support rep to even recognize this was a known issue. We spoke for a long time, she shared my screen and she watched me try so many different browsers and basic troubleshooting techniques that I had already done before calling support...and it wasn’t until all of that was exhausted that she put me on hold for a long time saying it was then a “known issue”.

No update or confirmation email at all even saying that they’re looking into it or still working on it. Absolutely ridiculous!

I met if you look under "contractors below threshold" you'll see them.  It'll be wrong if its like my report. They are clearly over the $600 limit by the appear in this report in error.  Spent 90 mins yesterday with support to no avail.

I have triple checked that the proper accounts are included and the January check to this vendor is not getting added. Meanwhile, all other January checks to the other 1099 vendors from the same run are included in theirs. Another QBks mystery that will likely go unsolved.

The 1099 MISC report shows 0 and will not print a form but when you click on the 0 it shows the correct amount paid.  If I run the NEC 1099 report those vendors who need the MISC show up on that report.  They are not NEC, I paid land rent to them so need MISC.  I have remapped everything, checked the accounts on the vendors, etc.  Nothing works.

I want to ensure this will be taken care of, @Blue50.

I appreciate you sharing the steps you've performed to fix your 1099 report. To further help you isolate the issue, I also suggest making sure that the payment methods are checks and not CC. However, if you're still seeing a zero balance, even after ensuring that the vendor's accounts are mapped correctly, I'd recommend contacting our Payroll Support team. They have the tools to pull up your account in a secure environment and check this further.

They are all paid by check.   I started using Quicken in the 1980's and have used both desktop and online.  I am familiar with both programs.  It seems every year there is a problem concerning the 1099 and 1096 forms.  I have the Rents listed as needing 1099 MIsc Box 1 and the NEC listed as Box 1 Non Employee Compensation.  There is no option to change the drop down menu on the 1099 processing to Rents.  It defaults to NEC.  I have both MISC and NEC 1099 forms needed and need ONE 1096 form to report both of them.  That is the way the IRS has it set it.  I need to process both types of 1099 and have one 1096 include both of them.  Nothing I have tried has worked.

Thank you for getting back to us and providing us with more details about the concern that you have, @Blue50.

We have the same issue...FOUR YEARS LATER from the original post! 

Thanks for joining the thread, @Kittyzmeow1. Let me help you with your concern.

There are a few reasons why a contractor might not show up on a report, and we'll go over them to determine which one relates to your situation so we can fix it.

First, you'll want to check if the Track payments for 1099 box is ticked in their profile.

For visual reference, you can refer on the screenshot below.

Second, if you paid your contractors via Payroll product account with a credit card, debit card, gift card, or PayPal, you'll want to amend those transactions and use a different method like check or expense.

Third, if the accounts you used for vendor transactions aren't mapped for 1099, the transactions won't appear on the report. This includes any accounts you used to pay for your items.

To begin with, these are the steps:

1.   Go to Expenses and click the Prepare 1099's button in the upper right-hand corner.
2.   Set up your company information and click Next.
3.   Place a checkmark in Box 7: Nonemployee Compensation checkbox.
4.   In the drop list, select all the accounts you used in all your contractor transactions.
5.   Click Next and click on Finish Later to finish the setup.

After you've double-checked and corrected your records, you can run your 1099 report.

If the issue still persist, I suggest reaching out to our Customer Support for QuickBooks Online (QBO).

To contact, simply follow these steps:

1.   Go to the Help icon to connect to a live support agent. 
2.   Click on the Contact Us button and provide some details about this concern.
3.   Provide us some information about your concern in the What can we help you with? box and click on Continue.
4.   You'll now be provided options on how to connect to our Customer Support.

Additionally, you can refer to this article for more information about the different types of support we offer and their availability.
