How do I manually add a contractor payment that was transacted outside of Intuit?

I had to manually add some payroll that happened via Zelle for two contractors that I need to account for in Intuit for their 1099.

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.

  1. Go to the Workers or Payroll menu.
  2. Select Contractors.
  3. Click Add a contractor
  4. Enter their info. You can find all of this on their W-9.
  5. When you're done, select Add contractor.

Do the same thing for your other contractor. Then to create an expense:

  1. Go to the Expenses menu.
  2. Select Vendors.
  3. Choose the vendor you want to track and open their profile.
  4. Click Edit.
  5. 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.

 

I’m always around if you have other follow-up questions about setting up your contractors in QBO. Leave a reply and I’ll do my best to help you out again. Take care!
