1099NEC

@Mathtutor4  The most obvious explanation would be the type of payment, though with QBO, it's impossible to rule out the system simply malfunctioning.

At any rate, how did you enter the payments?

If the only payment by check or cash was the first one, there you go. Electronic payments do not go on a 1099-NEC, and electronic payments entered in any version of QB as such will not show up on the 1099-NEC, nor should they.

Welcome to the Community thread, Mathtutor4. The 1099-NEC form will only report certain payment types. Allow me to provide more details about this matter.

The IRS only requires you to report contractor payments made via cash, check, or direct deposit. QuickBooks excludes payments to 1099 vendors made by credit card, debit card, or third-party systems, as these are reported by financial institutions.

If these payments are not made electronically, please check your payment records to ensure they are categorized correctly.
