Question about removing1099 Misc Mapping

I have the same question, but I am unable to change the mapping!

In the "Map Vendor payment accounts" box, there shows the Account name, Account type, Apply payments to this 1099 box-I cannot change the Misc Box 3 to NEC.  The drop down doesn't drop down! I have been working at this all day and cannot figure it out!  Please help!  Thank you    

Hey there, @suzymassel17. 

Thanks for joining in on this thread. This isn't the impression I want to leave you with. It's my priority that you're able to get your vendor payment accounts mapped. 

Using the Verify and Rebuild tool can help eliminate these types of glitches in your product. Don't worry. It only takes a few easy steps. 

Here's how: 

Verify

1. Go to the Window menu. 
2. Select Close all. 
3. Choose the File menu. 
4. Hover over Utilities. 
5. Pick Verify Data. 

Rebuild

1. Go through steps 3-4 from above. 
2. Hit Rebuild data. 
3. Click OK when prompted to backup your company file. 
4. Once the backup finishes, the Rebuild tool will start. 
5. Press OK when you get the message, "Rebuild has completed." 

Afterward, make sure you're updated to the latest payroll update (22101) and try the steps again to map the vendor payments account. Here are a few articles that can provide some helpful information: 

• How to modify your chart of accounts for your 1099-MISC and 1099-NEC filing

• Create and file 1099s

I hope this helps. If you have any other questions, let me know. I want to make sure you're able to get back to running your business. Wishing you and your business continued success!

Thank you but it did not help.  I may just have to use from 1099 Misc again.  I appreciate your time

Do you have further details on how you corrected this? I am having the same problem and QB support has not been able to help me!

I'm here to help keep the process of removing the account from 1099-MISC to 1099-NEC easy and simple, amyk1.

Downloading the latest tax table is a good start when it comes to fixing 1099-related issues in QuickBooks.

After that, let's update your QuickBooks Desktop to its latest release to synchronize the changes. Here's how:

1. Click Help at the top menu bar and choose Update QuickBooks Desktop.
   
2. Go to the Update Now tab.
3. Select the Reset Update and click Get Updates to start the download.
4. Once done. Hit OK and restart QuickBooks.
   
5. When prompted, accept the option to install the new release.

Once done, go back to your 1099-NEC wizard and remap the accounts. See the steps below:

1. Click Edit at the top menu bar and choose Preferences.
   
2. Scroll down and click Tax: 1099.
3. Go to the Company Preferences and click here under If you want to map your accounts to boxes on Form 1099-NEC.
   
4. Select or map all the accounts you used for your 1099-NEC.
5. Hit Save & Close.

If you still need help with mapping your 1099-NEC accounts or need further assistance with QuickBooks, please let me know. I'll be here to keep helping. Have a great rest of your day!

Thank you, this information was very helpful! I followed the steps below but when it leads me back to the mapping vendor accounts page the drop down for that vendor is still "greyed out"/locked from choosing another option. Is there a workaround? 

Yes I am having the same problem.  Please tell me the work around.

I am having this same issue and have tried the update and still did not work

Hello @amyk1 and @mcint29! Thanks for coming back here for help on this subject. It can definitely be a bit tricky so let me offer some clarification. :)

If the expense is already being mapped in Box 1 for 1099 NEC, it won't let you map it again in Box 7 for 1099 MISC. New or separate accounts are necessary for both NEC and MISC.  Here's a great article that explains this: How to modify your chart of accounts for your 1099-MISC and 1099-NEC filing. 

If you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to reply to this post. We're all happy to help in any way we can!

I tried the rebuild and it did not work - it found nothing to rebuild.

So now i can not finish my 1099s (Misc and NEC) until you fix this glitch.

How soon might that be; before the forms are due I hope.

This did not work for me either.

I do not even have the Click Here Option under the company preferences.

Watch out too because it will ask you to download new version and it downloaded a WHOLE NEW COMPANY FILE. (2020)

QB please don't release an update with glitches like this - wasting my time!

I did both updates.

Still unable to remove all dropdowns not needed on the MISC form (I only need 'Rent') and remove Rent from the NEC form.

Angelyn, I don't want to have to contact you guys, I just want you to fix the glitch. I have done all the steps suggested in this chain of discussion, nothing fixes it and numerous folks are having the same problem. I suggest your programmers stop locking us out of the drop downs as a way to protect us from selecting more than one box, and let us be responsible for our own work.

Hi there, @kathikunkel.

I want to make sure this is taken care of, and I'd like to redirect you to the best support group available to get this addressed right away.

Since you aren't able to remove the unattended drop-downs from the 1099-MISC and 1099-NEC, I highly suggest contacting our QuickBooks Support Team.

This way, they can further investigate this matter and provide additional troubleshooting steps to remove the unattended drop-downs. They can also create an investigation ticket if other users are experiencing the same.

To reach them, you can follow the detailed steps shared by my peer Angelyn_T above.

It seems that all tech help just repeats the steps without reading our concerns.

We have taken all the actions you suggest.

The problem, once again, is that we are unable to change the mapping; the drop down arrow is greyed out.

I have been on the phone with tech support for hours only to get a case number #[removed] and still no return call from you as promised two days ago.  

I would appreciate a call today and hopefully you have worked out the bug and everyone can get past this problem.

Thank you.

This is not what we want you to experience, @kathikunkel.

I have the same issue that an account needs to change from a 1099-MISC to a 1099-NEC.  The solution of adding another account is inappropriate.  Creating extraneous accounts is not a good accounting practice.  It will be confusing in the future.  What do you tell the readers of the financial statements?  QuickBooks couldn't get the IRS forms correct so I had to add another account!

I don't want to create new accounts, I just want to change the ones I have mapped to NEC. change them to MISC. I will not have NEC forms, only MISC. All of my drop down boxes are grayed out
