How do I confirm the mapping of accounts to the 1099 box 7?

It looks like you're getting ready to file your 1099s, patti-montemer. Let me help you check your setup. 

You can check the account mapping for vendor payments in the 1099 Wizard. Here's how: 

1. Go to Expenses and click Vendors at the top. 
2. Click on Prepare 1099s at the top-right corner. 
3. If this is your first time using the 1099 Wizard, click the "Let's get started" button. Otherwise, click on the "Continue your 1099s" button. 
4. You'll see the Review your company info page first. Confirm your details and click Next. 
5. The next page is where you can check the account mapping. I got you a screenshot below.

For Quickbooks Online users!

It was a very weird answer.  When you get to the form where there are no vendors displayed, you need to click the back button twice

- the first time gets you to a list of vendors where you can edit and click the 1099 eligible box. 

- The second gets you to the form where you can designate the accounts to be included when calculating 1099 payments.  Once you click all of the accounts that were used to categorize 1099 payments, your vendors will appear.

This is Exactly what was wrong.........Solved my issue. Thank you!!!!

There isn't a way to set this up when entering vendor information in QB initially?  You can only get this when preparing 1099's?  I was hoping there's a way to map to box 7 when I run the summary or detailed reports...

When I run my reports (summary OR detailed) for vendor/1099, it lists the monies paid to them in "uncategorized" column and leave the "Box 7:  Nonemployee Compensation" column empty.  I'm trying to figure out how to make it populate monies paid in the box 7 column.

When you set-up the vendor initially, you can mark that they should receive a 1099.  While in the vendor set-up, click the "tax settings" tab and mark the box.  

To select / map your 1099 accounts, go to Edit / Preferences / Tax: 1099.  On the Company Preferences, click the "click here" where it talks about mapping your accounts.  You can go through the listing there to indicate by account where on a 1099, if at all, the transactions should be recorded.  Once these are set, your uncategorized column should clear-up.

Hello there, XtremeKleaning.

I agree with JGibbsRVA. To make sure your vendor receives 1099, you can set this up in QuickBooks Online (QBO). Below are the instructions on how to do it:

1. Go to Expense.
2. Choose Vendors.
3. Select the name of the vendor and click Edit.
   
4. Check the box for Track payments for 1099.
5. Click Save.
   

Also, whatever information shown in your box 7 depends on how you map the accounts when preparing the 1099 form. You can follow the steps shared by my colleague Jill_P to be  guided on how to map the accounts to show it in box 7.

To become more familiar with the boxes on the form 1099, you can have these article handy: 

• 1099-MISC box 7: Nonemployee compensation.
• About 1099 boxes.

You can always get back to me if  you have follow-up questions. I'm just a comment away. Have a good one.

Exactly what I needed using the back buttons.

THANK YOU FOR THIS ANSWER! I spent hours trying to figure out why two contractors were not showing up.  I can't believe QBO doesn't have a way to get back to the types of expenses other than having to click back twice. You're a life saver!  QB - Please take note of this serious deficiency in your user interface and correct it.

Thanks

Step 4 in the instructions is missing.

I have 30 missing 1099 reports including all the lawyers from last year who are way over the limit. Its like quickbooks randomly (and incorrectly) changed the rules.

Welcome to the QuickBooks Community.

The IRS has separated non-employee compensation onto a new form called the 1099-NEC for the tax year 2020. With this, the Form 1099-MISC is revised and rearranged box numbers for reporting certain income. Rest assured that the 1099 reports in QuickBooks Online (QBO) is created according to the rules and standards set by the agency.

You can fix the issue regarding missing reports by making sure your contractors are active and set up for 1099 tracking. This way, you're able to access all the 1099s you need. Here's how to update vendor status if you already know who among them is missing:

1. Go to the Expenses.
2. Choose Vendors.
3. Select the contractor you want to pull up their profile.
4. Click the Edit button.
5. Mark the Track payments for 1099 checkbox.
6. Select Save.

After that, you'll have to make sure your payments to your contractors (i.e., lawyers) meet the threshold. Then, map the contractor payments to the right expense account and box number (i.e., Box 1 for non-employee). To continue with the troubleshooting steps, I'd recommend checking out this article starting Step 2: Fix missing contractors or wrong amounts on 1099s.

I'm also adding this article to learn more about the boxes on Forms 1099-NEC and 1099-MISC: Understanding payment categories for the 1099-MISC and 1099-NEC.

Let me know how it goes by leaving a comment below. If you have other 1099 concerns in QBO, I'm just around to help. Take care always.

I have a vendors that need to go on 1099 NEC and they do not show up.  What am I missing?

I'll make sure your vendors will show up on the 1099-NEC form, @bookkeeper in Hotchkiss.

First, let's make sure your vendors are active and set up for 1099 tracking as mentioned by @Rea_M. Also, ensure they meet the threshold ($600 or more) and are using correct expense accounts.

For more details, please review this article: Fix missing contractors or wrong amounts on 1099s.

If you get the same result, this is likely a browser-related issue due to a corrupted cache. To rule out this possibility, you can use a private window (incognito). This session doesn't store cache to prevent unexpected QuickBooks Online responses.

I've got the following shortcut keys you can use to access one:

• Ctrl+ Shift + N for Google Chrome .
• Ctrl + Shift + P for Mozilla Firefox  and Microsoft Edge .
• Command + Shift + N for Safari .

When you're ready, please access and review your 1099-NEC form again. If you're now able to see your vendors, you can switch back to your original browser and clear its cache. This process helps delete unwanted cache so the system can start fresh. 

Alternatively, you can use another supported web engine. 

After resolving the said issue, you can begin filing your 1099-NEC form to submit it on time.

Piggy backing here a bit: I have a "Legal & Professional Fees" account. Some attorney fees and some bookkeeping fees exist in the account. Is there a way I can make sure that the attorneys hit 1099-MISC and the bookkeeper his 1099-NEC? 

what about in desktop

Hello there, @LLG1. I'd be happy to guide you in mapping your 1099 accounts in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

To begin, you have to know first what boxes to choose for Forms 1099-NEC and 1099-MISC. For the list of the boxes under each form, please see this article: Understand payment categories for the 1099-MISC and 1099-NEC.

When everything is fine, you can now create a 1099 form and map your vendor payment accounts. I'll show you how:

1. In your QBDT program, go to Vendors, then select 1099 Forms, then Print/E-file 1099 Forms.
2. Then, create a backup copy of your file.
3. Select Get started for the 1099 form you want to create.
4. Next, select vendors that need a 1099 form and click Continue. Also, verify that the vendor information is correct. You can edit any incorrect information by double-clicking on the section that needs updating. Once done, select Continue.
5. Map the vendor payment accounts. Click the drop-down in the Apply payments to this 1099 box section. Select the account you want to link the payment to.
6. Then, review your payment information for exclusions. To see a detailed report, select View Included Payments or View Excluded Payments. Select Continue.
7. Confirm the vendors and amounts you're going to report. Select Continue. If you want to view the vendors who don't meet the IRS threshold, click View Summary Report.
8. Choose whether to print 1099s or e-file. 

For the continuation of the steps, please proceed to Step 5 of this article: Create and file 1099s with QuickBooks Desktop. It also includes a list of frequently asked questions about the form.

You can pull up the 1099 Summary or 1099 Detail reports to help you review your 1099 information in QBDT.

Feel free to get back to me if you have follow-up questions. I'm just a comment away. Have a good one.

Thank you for the reply. What we found was happening it that for some reason, ours defaulted to 1099M - state tax payments .   So when we went inot the NEC we couldn't adjust it. We had to go into 1099M and take out the mapping and then go back in and remap the 1099NEC.  It seemed to only happen on those that we had to make final corrections like adding an EIN.  But we were able to correct the issue.
