All of my vendors who are 1099 eligible are not showing up on 1099 summary

To set up the vendor:
Click Vendors, and then Vendor Center. From the list on the left, select the desired vendor.  In the Edit Vendor window, click the Tax Settings tab. Ensure that the Vendor eligible for 1099 checkbox is checked, and then click OK.

To map the accounts:
Click Vendors and then Print/E-file 1099s > 1099 Wizard. Click Get Started and then Continue to the Map vendor payment accounts page. For each account you used to pay 1099 vendors, click the drop-down arrow in the 1099 box column to choose the box on Form 1099 where these payment amounts should appear.

Note: Each account may only be mapped to one 1099 box. If you are unsure of which account to use, please consult your accounting professional for assistance.

My QB is showing similar signs.  I had 2016 until an hour ago - when I pull the 1099 report; it shows me data.  It's missing pieces - a vendor, with a check box in the right area along with the EIN lists on a vendor.

That vendor does not show up in the 1099 Vendor Report.

Hey GarlynGay - appreciate you chiming in.

Great though - I ran through a Verify and Rebuild - on the rebuild, it gave me an error (attached).

Click on the link and it sends you here - 

https://quickbooks.intuit.com/community/Help-Articles/QBWin-log-Verify-Master-messages/m-p/201914

Based on the error, the response is - "It is an innocuous message and is not sufficient reason to run Rebuild."

Right - ok, well I had already run it anyway.  

The 1099 report is still incorrect.  

Where would you start next?

How did you pay that vendor name? If you paid by Credit Card, you won't report that on a 1099-Misc.

Why would you do a rebuild and recover process before checking the actual mapping of the accounts? In my experience, each time vendors were not appearing on the 1099 reports it was due to the mapping of the accounts to the 1099 fields, or because the vendor setups were not done correctly. It does not seem logical to restore data to a previous state in which there was seemingly no difference in how the vendors were setup and how accounts were mapped and being reported on the 1099 report.

A valid and logical point.

This is a great point: "each time vendors were not appearing on the 1099 reports it was due to the mapping of the accounts to the 1099 fields, or because the vendor setups were not done correctly."

Even when you stick with the same year QB, there are Updates that seem to cause the mapping Thresholds to be affected; since those can change in a tax year, anyway, the first thing to do is step through the 1099 Wizard and confirm or update that everything is ready to go. Then you run reports to see if you also forgot settings on names, other accounts, etc.

Rebuild is the least likely tool needed.

Thanks - I did run through the 1099 wizard.  Some of the account mappings were off, and there were some threshold issues as well that I fixed.

Ultimately, I think the issue was I was looking for people that I paid via credit card.

Yes - I think this was the answer to my problem all along.  Had no idea this was a thing - now I do, thank you!

I attached the 1099- Misc exclusion text, that applies since 2011.

I have my vendors account checked off the track 1099 but it still will not show on the report!

What do I need to do?  They have been paid via check.....  Very frustrating!

Thank you for taking the time to post in the Community, ck5.

It's my priority to get you pointed in the right direction and get this 1099 vendor report straightened out right away.

Referencing qbteachmt's and reginamarie's great responses, before running the report, we'll need to go through the 1099 Wizard and make sure the mapping is correct. It's usually due to incorrect mapping that the vendors won't show up on the report, despite checking them off as eligible for 1099.

Mapping 1099 Accounts in QuickBooks Desktop:

1. From the Vendors menu, select Print/E-file 1099s.
2. Choose 1099 Wizard.
3. Click Get Started.
4. Select the appropriate vendors.
5. Make sure the Tax ID and Address of these vendors are correct. You may also fill in any other applicable details.
6. Click Continue.
7. On the Map vendor payment accounts page, check Report all payments in Box 7.
   - We only support Box 7, but if necessary, you may select the other options under the Apply payments to this 1099 box drop-down menu for each account.
8. Keep hitting Continue until you reach the last page, then Save & Close.

Now that we've mapped them correctly, let's go ahead and pull up the report. Allow me to walk you through the steps on how to do it:

1. From the Vendors menu, select Print/E-file 1099s.
2. Choose either 1099 Summary or 1099 Detail Report.

All of this information and more is available from our QuickBooks 1099 Wizard guide. With these resources, you'll be pulling up correct 1099 reports in QuickBooks like an expert before long.

Please let me know if there's anything else you need, I want to make sure you're taken care of. Thanks for reaching out, wishing you and your business all the success.

on the 1099's when I pick on the summary sheet all the names are check and half don't show

up on the summary

Hello Don12,

You can report 1099's for those vendors you paid via cash or checks with a total of $600 and more. Transactions that were paid via credit card, debit card, gift card, and PayPal won't be included in 1099s. Excluding electronic payments when reporting 1099-MISC is mandated by the IRS. You can browse this article for more information: IRS Reporting Requirements for Third Party Vendor Payments on 1099-K/1099-MISC. 

If you've only processed credit card charges for these vendors, they won't generally form part of your 1099 Vendor Summary report. These amounts need to be reported by the third party or credit card company via 1099-K form.

I'd recommend reaching out to IRS if you need to include these vendors. They can be able to provide legal advice about this. You can also use these articles for more information: 

• Vendor Missing From 1099 Summary Report or 1099 E-file Service
• QuickBooks 1099 Wizard

We'll be right here if you need anything else.

The form 1099-K, Payment Card and Third Party Network Transactions, is an IRS information return used to report certain payment transactions processed by these Third Parties if there are gross payments that exceed $20K AND there are more than 200 such transactions.

This means that PayPal would file a 1099-K if this minimum reporting threshold is met. If you cross the IRS thresholds in a given calendar year, PayPal will send Form 1099-K to you and the IRS for that year early in the following year. You can access your 1099-K from your PayPal account by January 31st annually.

I'm in the exact same boat and have been for over 2 weeks.  My 1099 reports are totally incorrect and I'm beyond disappointed with QBO putting me in this bind.   All the data has been entered correctly.  No one has been paid via Credit cards paypal etc....all 1099 boxes are checked.   Help desk could only add me to the "investigation" with no other information or resolution in place. 

I needed these 1099's done yesterday and QBO has really put me in a bind and do nothing but add stress to my plat vs giving me a good user experience.   Fix the 1099 reports PLEASE!!! 

Hello there, telkins.

Thanks for joining this thread. Let me provide some additional update about the 1099 vendor report shows incorrect information. 

The status of the investigation about this issue is still in progress, but rest assured that our engineers are currently investigating and working on an immediate fix. We'll keep you posted once this issue is resolved. Since you've been added to the list of affected users, you'll be notified of any updates on the progress on the investigation via email. 

We appreciate your patience as we work through this. If there's anything else I can do for you, please let me know. I'll be around to help you out. 

I was in the same boat, so I'm posting to see if you did the same thing I did. I went into my vendors and made sure the box was checked for 1099 tracking and the FEINs were entered, verified that they weren't credit card or other third party payment methods, and still I had vendors not showing on my list. I was at my wit's end and about to just order 1099 software to get through this year after I read this thread that it was under investigation.

But then I went back in one last time and I figured out my problem. Every time I went into the Prepare 1099s portal (for lack of a better word), I came in on the 'Review'step. I had previously gone back to the 'Contractors' step and attempted to add the vendors from there, but still couldn't figure out why it wasn't working. Just now I went back again, to the 'Accounts' step. There I needed to select the g/l accounts that needed to be mapped to Box 7 that weren't already checked. Apparently when I did the set up last year, I didn't have payments in a couple of the g/l accounts that I have this year, and totally did not remember going through that step last year. Once I selected the expense accounts I was missing, my vendors appeared on my 1099 list!

So maybe that's helpful, or maybe you were smarter than me to start with and went all the way back to step one, but thought I'd throw it out there just in case it would help.

Hi, @Bookkeeper 309.

Welcome to the Community and thanks for joining this conversation.

I appreciate you sharing the steps that you've done to get this working. Information like this will definitely help other users who are having the same issue.

Also, thanks for being a part of our QuickBooks family. Don't hesitate to post again here in the Community or leave a comment on this thread if you have any concerns. Cheers!

THANK YOU @Bookkeeper 309! This is the exact solution I was looking for and this was NEVER brought up by anyone on the QBO help desk team from multiple different calls/screenshares! 

Perfect success story for using the QBO community!!   Much quicker of a resolution vs. depending on the QBO support team to get back to me.   Thank you for helping us solve this riddle!   My 1099 reports are now correct thanks to you @Bookkeeper 309!!   Kudos!

THIS worked for me, THANK YOU! Good grief QBO INTUIT. Please update your help!!! It will take a couple minutes to update and in turn, save you countless hours of your time on the back side trying to figure this out for customers. Shame that it took a frustrated customer (among others) to figure this out.
