Thanks for the sharing the details with me, @MHStroud.
You can add your two contractors in your QuickBooks Online (QBO) account and create an expense to track payment for 1099. Let me show you how from your QBO account.
- Go to the Workers or Payroll menu.
- Select Contractors.
- Click Add a contractor
- Enter their info. You can find all of this on their W-9.
- When you're done, select Add contractor.
Do the same thing for your other contractor. Then to create an expense:
- Go to the Expenses menu.
- Select Vendors.
- Choose the vendor you want to track and open their profile.
- Click Edit.
- Select and check the Track payments for 1099 checkbox.
I have here an article that you can read for more information about this process: How to set up contractors and track them for 1099s in QuickBooks.
Let me also share this resource that you can use for future guidance: Prepare and file 1099s using QuickBooks Online. This link can guide you effectively in filing your federal 1099.
