Error message in 1099 filing

I am trying to use quickbooks to prepare and file my 1099s.

 

It is giving me an error for a vendor who is a contractor that I need the company name. This is not required for a vendor, only their name. How do i get rid of this error.

 

Thank you,

 

Andrea

We don't want you to have that experience in filling 1099, Andrea. Let me provide the steps to resolve the software's most common data issue.

 

Before we proceed, please check that all the vendor information is correct. If the same happens, we can log in to your account using an incognito browser. A private browser prevents saving cache and cookies that sometimes cause errors when running frequently visited websites.

 

Here are the useful shortcut keys you can use to access one:

 

  • Ctrl+ Shift + N for Google Chrome
  • Ctrl + Shift + P for Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Edge
  • Command + Shift + N for Safari

 

If the issue persists. I highly suggest contacting our live support team. They can look over your account and resolve your concern quickly.

The suggestion did not work for opening an incognito browser I received the same software error message. This is a quickbooks software error and extremely frustrating. I have used these vendors each year and never had a problem and did not change anything for the vendor.

 

I need to talk to a person at quickbooks. your suggestion about contact us does not work. I am not sure why you don't offer help on the weekends -- that is when many business owners work and do their accounting.

 

How can I get help.

I tried your suggestion an opened and incognito browser. The same data error occurred. This is a quickbooks bug as I was able to prepare and file the 1099s last year through QB with the same vendor. This is very frustrating and I need help from QB staff and not sure why there is no help on the weekends as many business owners do accounting on weekends -- we work every day as small business owners. I was unable to get help with a person through your suggestion.

 

I need help now.
