Hello, @ctwatson.
Yes, contractors earned above the threshold should get a 1099 and the contractors' name will show up when preparing the form. Since one of your contractors doesn't show up correctly, you need to map the accounts used for the transactions of that contractor.
Here are the detailed steps:
That should help you prepare 1099 correctly. For additional reference, you can check out these articles:

Thank you - I had forgotten to add that line item to the map.
I have the same problem. I do not see where it says "workers" on the left hand column. Just Vendors.
The accounts are mapped to direct sales and I can not change them.
Is there somewhere else I can fix this?
I can help with your 1099, Non Profit Accountant.
The Workers menu mentioned above is now the Payroll tab in QuickBooks Online (QBO). Also, if you haven't filed the form, we can modify the account from there.
Here's how:
If you file the 1099 already, contact the IRS directly for manual amendment.
For additional information, please see this link from the IRS: General Instructions for Certain Information Returns, Part H. It contains the steps to perform when discovering an error after filing a return. You can also refer to this page on how to perform the process: Correct or change 1099.
Additionally, you may not have a payroll subscription if you can't see the Payroll menu. In that case, you can select the Expenses tab, then Contractors.
Furthermore, I've included this article to help answer the most commonly asked questions about 1099s in QuickBooks: Get answers to your 1099 questions.
You may want to print your 1099 forms in QBO to get a physical copy for record-keeping.
Let me know if you need additional guidance with your 1099 filing in QuickBooks. We'll be more than glad to offer assistance. Take care.
Sorry, I do not have a Payroll tab with a menu. I do not have employees. Any other place I can fix this?
I have Quickbooks Desktop Premier 2021 edition. No Payroll menu, no employees, no Worker tab.
Any other way to fix this?
Hello, Non Profit Accountant.
The steps shared by my colleagues are for QuickBooks Online, which is why you don't see the Payroll menu, no employees option, or no Worker tab. But don't worry, I'm here to guide you on how to do it on QuickBooks Desktop Premier 2021 edition. To create or file the 1099, you'll have to click on the Vendor and select 1099 Forms. I'll show you the detailed steps:
Then, to E-file your forms, you need to import your data into Tax1099. Note: There is an additional fee for e-filing from QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).
For the step-by-step guide in preparing your federal 1099s with QBDT, please see this article: Create and file 1099s with QuickBooks Desktop.
Here are some articles that will guide you in generating 1099 forms in QBDT:
