1099 misc & nec

Hi, I have Quickbooks Desktop Pro 2019, and I do not have the Accountant Tool. I accidentally mapped all of my 1099 accounts to NEC Box 1 while efiling my 1099 forms NEC without seeing QBs new instructions on how to map different accounts for NEC and MISC. So now that I am attempting to efile my MISC 1099s, I see when i get to #3 where you Map Accounts I cannot change my accounts from NEC to MISC where it says "Apply Payments to this 1099 box." I first read QB forums hoping I could reverse the action where I accidentally mapped all of my accounts to NEC, but I'm not seeing that as a possibility. If it is that would be the easiest solution. If not, the QB forums say I need to create new accounts and move the transactions to file both NEC and MISC separately. I've created the new accounts already and mapped them under MISC, but now I'll have to move thousands of individual transactions from NEC to MISC so i can file the MISC 1099s. So 2nd question, Is there a way to bulk move all transactions under a Vendor from the NEC accounts they are currently listed under to the new MISC accounts I've created so I dont have to click on each individual transaction? I have seen forums where people bulk move items under Accountant tool, but I do not have that feature. Can I do it without the Accountant tool?

Hi there, rachelbernhardt8558.  

 

I appreciate you for reaching out to us here in the Community. I understand that you need to change the 1099 account mapping. I'm here to help you!

 

Please note that one account can only be mapped to one 1099 form. The most possible reason why you can't click and change the drop-down is that the account is used to another form already. 

 

You'll want to check it to fix this issue.

 

Follow these steps: 

 

  1. Close the Print/e-file 1099 forms window. Go back to the Vendors menu, hover 1099 Forms, and select the Print/e-file 1099 forms again.
  2. Choose Form 1099-MISC and click Get started.
  3. Click Continue until the third step (Map Accounts).
  4. Find the account you want to use on the 1099-NEC. Under Apply payments to this 1099 box column, select Omit these payments from 1099.
  5. Tap Save & Close.

 

Once done, go back to the 1099-NEC account mapping. You should now be able to change the Apply payments to this 1099 box drop-down.

And for the second question, Yes, you need an accountant tool to transfer the bulk transactions. Please check this article: Accountant tools: Batch transactions.
