Hi there, Munis.

Thanks for dropping by the Community today. If you're looking for a little guidance on 1099 forms then look no further, because I'm your guy! With 1099-MISC and 1099-NEC payments to 1099 vendors made via credit card, debit card, or third party system, such as PayPal, are excluded. This is because the financial institution reports these payments, so you don't have to. You can find this information as well as other great information in the following article about what payments are excluded from a 1099-NEC and 1099-MISC?

I'm also including a helpful article for you to check out, it highlights common issues people run into in 1099 filing and troubleshooting steps to take. 

If you have any other questions, comments or concerns, feel free to post here anytime. Thanks again and I hope you have a nice Monday afternoon. 

Good Morning Nick,

Thank you for the detailed explanation of the topic. 

It's great to see you were able to receive the info you needed regarding 1099 forms, Munis!

If you ever need additional assistance, I recommend checking out these QuickBooks Video Tutorials. You can also view the QuickBooks Blog for details about product updates. 

Of course, you're always welcome to post your questions here in this space. I'm just a comment or post away if you need me.

There are several answers here that properly walk you through the correct checks. This January 2021 answer is for those who already know how to and have done and redone the checks. I use all QB versions; this year I had this problem with QB Mac. When doing 1099's for one of my clients. the vendor not showing up was...ME! Here's the quirk and the fix: I write my business name, organized ever after, with all lower case letters (because, that's the end of the story, in case you wanted to know). Turns out, QB didn't like the lower case lead "o" in the VENDOR NAME box-- it was okay in the Company Name box. Until I changed it, QB listed my company at the bottom of the 1099 "Review Vendors" page, and did not include it on the "Confirm Entries" page. Once I  capitalized the "o," the 1099 populated fine. Hope that helps someone.

I did exactly as it showed and only one of my contractors is showing when I get ready to print 1099NEC.  I have compared all of them and I find no difference.  Obviously something is different.  Help

I paid all by check and they are over $600.   Must be the mapping.  I have contractor account and a sub account underneath each one.   All of them were done the same , but only 1 appears when its time to print the 1099.  And I run the 1096 and only that contractor appears. 

I click on the video you gave me and it says Error.  no video appears.

Do you mean that no vendors show up?

 

There can be a couple of reasons for this.  Only vendors you paid via cash or check should be reported, and only if the payments total $600 or more. (It's up to you whether to report anything below that).  If you entered, e.g., a check for payment but used DBT or Paypal as the check number, it will be ignored.  Also, you should check the mapping to your accounts.  If the account you used when you entered the bill or paid the vendor is not mapped correctly no payments will show. Check out the video below for more detailed info on troubleshooting these issues.

Thanks for following the thread, @GRR K. 

We appreciate the time you've taken to try all the steps listed above. I understand how frustrating it can be when your vendors don't show to print for the 1099s.

However, since the steps aren't working for you, I recommend contacting our technical support team. Our technical support team has the tools available to review your account in a secure environment and investigate why your vendor's aren't showing for you. I've included the steps below to contact support. 

1. From the Help menu, choose QuickBooks Desktop Help.
2. Hit Contact Us. 
3. Enter you concerns, and tap Let's talk. 
4. Choose the best way to connect with support (Chat, Callback, Etc.).

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. You can always reach out to the Community or me any time you need a helping hand. Take care! 

No vendors show up for me also.  Last year it was easy.  The Prepare 1099 link at the top of Vendors doesn't work.

Let's resolve the error you've encountered when trying to create and file 1099s, @Cherokee99.

You can run the Verify and rebuild tools. Once done, update QuickBooks Desktop to the latest release to get the latest features and fixes.

The Verify Data will identify any data issues within your company file. Then, the Rebuild tool will self-resolve it. 

Verify data:

1. Go to File, then Utilities and choose Verify Data.

If it will detect an error, proceed and Rebuild your data:

1. Go back to the File menu and then Utilities and select Rebuild Data.
2. Choose OK if you’ll receive a message to back-up your company file.
3. After creating the back-up file, the Rebuild Data utility will run automatically.
4. Click OK when you get the message Rebuild has completed.

To manually update:

1. Search for QuickBooks Desktop. Right-click the icon and select Run as administrator.
2. From the No Company Open screen, go to the Help menu and select Update QuickBooks Desktop.
3. Click the Options tab and select Mark All and then choose Save.
4. Go to the Update Now tab and select the Reset Update checkbox.
5. Click Get Updates.

You can now restart your computer for the changes to take effect. For detailed guidance, see these articles: 

• Verify and Rebuild Data in QuickBooks Desktop
• Update QuickBooks Desktop to the latest release

From here, try to create and file 1099s with QuickBooks Desktop. In case you'd encounter any errors, you can check this fix missing contractors or wrong amounts on 1099s to resolve it. 

I'm always here if you need further help in preparing your 1099s. Take care and have a great rest of the day!

Thank you for this but it did not help me. I have mapped my accounts, I have checked the threshold and ran my report to confirm the GL accounts and amounts. But when I run the 1099 half of the vendors are not showing up. These are vendors that showed up last year and are set up the same. 

I am using Quickbooks online. 

Any suggestions? 

I'm here to ensure your vendors will show on your 1099, vbillings.

A vendor appears on the list if it meets the following criteria in QuickBooks Online:

• You tagged it in QuickBooks Online as a 1099 vendor.
• It qualifies for the federal 1099-MISC threshold for the relevant boxes, after payments you made by credit card, debit card, or PayPal have been excluded.

To verify the settings, I suggest following these steps:

1. Go to your Vendor list and click Prepare 1099s.
2. Click Continue with 1099s.
3. Review your company details, then Next.
4. Assign your vendor payments to categories defined by the IRS, click Next.
5. Select your 1099 vendors, then click Next.
6. Review the payments and make sure that they're assigned to the correct 1099 categories, click Next.
   • By default, QuickBooks shows 1099 vendors who meet the IRS threshold in the current tax year. If a vendor is missing some details, like an address or tax ID, just click the name and make the edits here.
   • If you want to see vendors paid in a prior tax year, who aren't marked for 1099s, or whose total payments fall below the IRS thresholds, click the filter icon and update the settings.
   • Click an amount to open the 1099 Transaction Details by Vendor report to see all of the payments that make up the total amount.
   • Click an amount in the Excluded column to show any payments you made by credit card, debit card, gift card, or third-payment network such as PayPal. These payments are reported by card issuers and third-party payment networks on Form 1099-K. To avoid reporting payments twice to the IRS, your 1099-MISC forms should include only cash, check, EFT, ACH, and direct deposit payments. QuickBooks automatically tracks the right payment types for you.
   • Click the Pint icon to print a summer of 1099 vendors and payments, and the corresponding 1096 info for your accountant or for your company records.
7. If you're ready to file, choose how you want to distribute and file the forms.

Fun times!  I was attempting to work on my 1099's, but 2 weeks ago I upgraded from Enterprise version 19 to version 21.  Apparently during that upgrade it removed almost ALL of the 1099 check boxes from my vendors.  So now I have to run reports and evaluate transactions to identify eligible vendors.  I use this QB tool every year.  Last year I had about 53 vendors that I created 1099's for. I expected the same this year.  But as it turns out, now I only have 10 vendors who have check marks in the 1099 field.  When I called Customer Support, they said something about it being a known issue and that it would have to be fixed manually by me. LOVELY!

None of my vendors are showing up in the 1099 section.  I have checked and double checked, but they will not show up.  Neither in the meets criteria or does not meet criteria section.  

Thanks for being detailed about your concern, WillieMcCoy.

I appreciate for letting us know of the steps you’ve performed to show the vendors' names on the 1099 form. Let’s perform another one to rectify the issue.

If your vendors are missing from the list, it could be they're not active or marked as eligible for 1099. We’ll have to open each supplier’s name and make sure the Track payments for 1099 box is selected. I’ll help and guide you on how to do this in QBO.

1. Tap the Expense menu on the left panel to choose Vendors.
2. This will open a page where you can see the list of all your suppliers.
3. From there, click the vendor’s name to see more details.
4. Hit the Edit menu to open the Vendor Information screen.
5. Go to the Track payments for 1099 section and make sure the box is checked.
6. Click Save to keep the changes.

If your suppliers are deleted, make sure to activate them before processing the 1099 form. This way, the names will show on the form. For detailed instructions, check out this article and then go to the Restore a customer or vendor section: How to edit, delete, and restore list elements.

Please know the information displayed on 1099 is from 2020. If you’re unable to record expenses and map them correctly, the data will not show on the form.

However, if the contractors are active and set to track 1099, I recommend following the solution shared by @CharleneMaeF to resolve the issue.

For additional resources, here’s an article that contains solutions on how to resolve the following situation: Fix missing contractors or wrong amounts on 1099s.

Don’t hesitate to leave a comment below if you have other concerns or questions. I’ll get back to answer them for you. Have a good one.

How did you fix this? I use a sub account but it does not show up under 1099 Transaction Detail Report

Hello there, @Cheryl_Milne. I'm here to further help you see your sub-accounts when running the 1099 transaction detail report. 

Let's ensure that you've mapped the payments to the correct expense accounts when preparing the 1099 form. If these are sub-accounts, those specific sub-accounts must be selected instead of the parent account. For more information on preparing your 1099 form in QuickBooks Online (QBO), feel free to open this article: Create and file 1099s using QuickBooks Online.

However, if verified that all payments are mapped to the correct accounts and you can't still see them, I suggest reaching out to our Customer Care team to further investigate the root cause of the issue. They can pull up your account in a secure place and you can also request a screen-sharing session so they can check your setup and guide you with the steps you'll need to take.

I've also added this helpful link to give you additional information about the 1099 forms: Get answers to your 1099 questions. 

You'll want to personalize and filter only the data you need when generating a report, feel free to customize them in QBO. For the detailed instructions, check out this article: Customize reports in QuickBooks Online.

If you have any other concerns in accessing the 1099 transaction detail report in QBO, don't hesitate to post again here in the Community. I'd be happy to assist you further. Keep safe. 

I am having the same problem. Looks like the vendors with less than $5000 are not showing up.

Should be set to $600

I am still having this issue.

Some vendors show up. Others do not.

I checked everything, included with your vendor support on the phone and sharing screens.

The only thing I see is that vendors with less than $5000 aren't showing up. Those with greater are.

Can someone check with the technical team to make sure that the threshold is not set incorrectly in the software?

Hi there, @Our IdeaWorks - Ivy. Thanks for taking the time to reach out to the Community for support.

I can see you have posted the same concern twice in the QBO Community. My colleague already shared their response on the other thread. You may refer to this link to review the solution to your concern.

I have quickbooks mac. How do I find this categorizing section? I have 2 subcontractors that will not show up on my 1099NEC. They are checked as 1099 vendors, and listed as subcontractors. But their transactions show up as uncategorized rather than non employee compensation. How do I change that?

Hello, anomalymk. 

Let's double-check the setup of your 1099 to ensure it's categorized and mapped correctly in QuickBooks Desktops Mac. To to update your account, Go to the Vendors page, then choose 1099s, Please click this link for more guidance: Modify your 1099-MISC and 1099-NEC filing.
