Are you referring to the payment categories? If so, please note that QuickBooks does not automatically categorize contractor payments. You will need to manually select the appropriate expense account or category for each payment. If you're uncertain about which category to choose, I recommend consulting your accountant for guidance.
You can review the IRS isntructions for Form 1099s if you’re unsure about the types of payments you may have made to contractors this year.
When you're ready to prepare your 1099s, you can refer to this article for guidance: Create and file.
