1099 to 1099NEC

I can share some info to ensure you can manage your 1099-NEC forms in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT), @sherylrae.

After creating 1099-MISC, you'll need to repeat the steps for the 1099-NEC form. If you need to file both the 1099-MISC and 1099-NEC you will need to adjust your Chart of Accounts to ensure accounts are set up specifically for each form.

To create a new account to your Chart of Accounts to track the separate payments.

1. Go to Lists, then select Chart of Accounts.
2. From the Account dropdown, choose New to create a new account.
3. Select an account type of Expense, Other Expense or COGS, then select Continue.
4. Enter the Account Name and details such as Description, Note and Tax-line Mapping.
5. Select Save & Close.
6. Repeat this process for each new account to be reported on the 1099-NEC.

Move the payments to the new account:

You can choose to create a journal entry to move amounts to show in the newly created 1099-NEC accounts or you can edit existing payments to the new accounts.

To add a journal entry:

1. Go to Company and select Make General Journal Entries.
2. Fill out the fields to create your journal entry. Make sure your debits equal your credits when you’re done.
3. Select Save & Close or Save & New if you have more entries to make.
4. Repeat this process for each payment you need to move.

Edit existing contractor payments:

1. Select Vendors and then Vendor Center.
2. Choose the vendor and locate the transactions you need to edit.
3. Double-click to open the transaction to make your edits.
4. After you have made the changes, select Save & Close.
5. Repeat this process for each payment you need to change.

You can now run a 1099 Summary or 1099 Detail report to validate the changes to reflect the correct amounts in each account for both the 1099-NEC and the 1099-MISC.

Here's how:

1. Go to Reports, then select Vendors & Payables.
2. Choose either 1099 Summary or 1099 Detail.
3. You should see the changes you made reflected.

Once these steps are completed, you're ready to begin filing your 1099-MISC and 1099-NEC forms.

Also, you'll want to know how to access and print your other tax forms to save a copy for future use. Please refer to this article for the detailed steps: View and print payroll tax forms.
