I have a vendor that should show a balance for a 1099 is showing zero

How did you pay the vendor?  With a check?  Cash?

On those payments did you use the accounts you've mapped to be 1099 accounts?

Thank you for posting here in the Community, @MINNESOTAMEDICA.

I want to make sure that the vendor name will show up to the 1099 page. To start, let's check first the 1099 Summary Report if you're able to see the vendor's name. 

Here's how:

1. Go to the Reports menu, then select Vendors and Payables. 
2. Choose 1099 Summary.
3. In 1099 drop-down arrow, pick All vendors.
4. Find the vendor's name. 

If you're able to see the name, then the vendor's name should show on the 1099 page.

Yes, they show up on the Summary Report, but the amount paid says 0.00.  We paid by check and credit card.  The vendor is set up with the 1099 box checked and the TIN entered.

We paid with a check and credit card.  The show up on the 1099 report with the amount paid as 0.00.  

Doesn’t help to call phone support. I’ve been on the phone with quickbooks for an hour and no one is helping. I’m just placed on long holds, followed up with stupid questions that don’t pertain to the issue then long holds again. 

This happened to me as well.  In the beginning of the process you may be asked whether to Print 1099-NEC or 1099-MISC.  QB does give a warninng that 1099 expenses can only be mapped to one or the other.   So when I selected 1099-MISC I got all my 1099s showing zero but the reports had the correct numbers.  I started over and selected 1099-NEC and everything showed up correctly.  Hope this helps.
