adding 1099 NEC

It's great to have you here, @TSM44.

I'm here to assist you with adding a 1099 to QuickBooks Online.

To better understand your concern, could you please confirm if you are referring to adding a transaction that was not recorded in QuickBooks? If so, you can simply add the transaction and link it to the contractor. If you still need to add the contractor to QuickBooks, I've got you covered.

You can follow these steps:
 

1. Click Payroll, then Add a contractor.
2. Enter the Name and Email.
3. Mark check the box and press Add contractor.

Alternatively, if you want to add a 1099 form after you've already filed, you'll need to submit a correction to the IRS. If you've e-filed your 1099-NEC or 1099-MISC with QuickBooks, beginning in 2024, you can submit amended 1099 forms through QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Contractor Payments, or QuickBooks Payroll. However, the instructions aren't available yet, but once they are, you can access them through this article: Correct or change 1099s in QuickBooks.

You may also want to generate 1099 reports in QuickBooks to view who needs 1099s, payment totals, and other details. Here is a guide to help you: Create 1099 reports in QuickBooks.

If you have any further questions or concerns regarding filing your 1099s, please don't hesitate to contact us. We're available to assist you at any time.

I filed my 1099s but missed a contractor!  Can you please tell me how to add an additional 1099 after filing?  I don't see a way to add her to what's already been submitted or to submit again.  

Thanks

Let me help you fix your 1099 filing and be able to add your contractor, RBY.

One of the reasons why one of your contractors is missing from the list is because they're not active or marked as eligible for 1099. You'll have to make sure they are active and are marked as eligible for 1099 for them to show up.

You can create this 1099 report to see which vendors are set to track 1099s. After that, they can change their status so they'll appear on the list. To do so, follow the steps below:

1. Go to the Reports menu.
2. Search for Vendor Contact List and open the report.
3. Select Customize.
4. In the Rows/Columns section, select Change columns.
5. Mark the Track 1099 checkbox.
6. In the Filters section, select Deleted and change the ▼ dropdown to All.
7. Click Run Report.
8. Select Sort and under Sort by choose Track 1099, to sort your contractors.
9. If you see a missing Vendor, you can change their status, or continue to the next step.
   1. Select their name.
   2. Select Make Active.
10. If they have No under Track 1099.
    1. Select their name.
    2. Select Vendor Details.
    3. Select Edit ✎.
    4. Mark the Track payments for 1099 checkbox then select Save.

Once done, if you already know what vendor to update, change their status. Here's how:

1. Go to Expenses, and select Vendors (Take me there).
2. Select the contractor you want to convert, then select Edit ✎.
3. Mark the Track payments for 1099 checkbox then select Save.

However, if they're still missing from the Vendor list, they may be inactive. You can mark them as active. You can see the instructions below:

1. Under the Action column, select Settings ⚙.
2. Select the Include inactive checkbox.
3. Next to a missing vendor, select Make active

On top of that, only those contractors you paid above the annual $600 cash threshold get a 1099. You'll want to see which contractors didn't meet the threshold. At the same time, make sure you're paying contractors from the right expense account. To know more about this, go through this article for more information: Troubleshooting Missing Contractors or Wrong Amounts On 1099s.

Additionally, take a closer look at your business finances and employees, read this article to know the available list of payroll reports that you can use: Run Payroll Reports.

You can always keep in touch if you have any further concerns with 1099. We're always right here to help you.

Hi Maria, 

Thank you for your response.  However, allow me to clarify my question.   

I submitted my 1099s to the IRS.  Only after submitting them did I realize that I missed someone.   I know I needed to track her for a 1099 and hadn't.  So I've already clicked "track for 1099" but I have also already submitted my other 1099s.  

My question is, how do I submit a 1099 for her separately (after I've submitted the others).  In QB, there does not appear to be a way to submit an additional, separate 1099 after submitting the others.   It only shows the status of the submitted 1099s.  

Thanks again!

RBY

I'm here to ensure you can successfully submit this 1099 to IRS, @RBY. I'd be glad to share information on how you can accomplish this. 

After adding the missed contractor and clicking the Track for 1099, we'll have to prepare your 1099 as you normally do. Additionally, QuickBooks will automatically identify any workers for whom you haven't filed tax forms yet, eliminating concerns about duplicates.

1. On your left navigation tab, go to Expense, then select Contractors.
2. In the right corner, you will see the Prepare 1099s. 
3. Another window will open, and from there, click the Confirm info and start filling.
4. Follow the on-screen process to complete your e-filling. 

You can check this article for reference: Create and file 1099s with QuickBooks Online.

If this contractor isn't on the list, you can check their name in the Not tracked for 1099 tab to see if something is missing from their information, then hit the Add to tracked list so you can add or edit their information.

On top of that, please ensure that your contractor meets the $600 cash threshold to get a 1099 and that the contractors are from the correct expense account. You can check this information for reference: Troubleshoot missing contractors or wrong amounts on 1099s.

Furthermore, if you want to make corrections to 1099-MISC or 1099-NEC after e-filing them, you can visit this article for guidance: Correct or change 1099s in QuickBooks.
