Hi there, Stephanie. You can prepare a 1099 for your vendors by going to the expense section in your QuickBooks Online (QBO). You can also view your previous 1099's if you've filed them. Let me walk you through this process.
There are two ways to file a 1099 in QBO: either let QuickBooks prep for you or prep with QuickBooks help.
Here's how:
- Log in to your QBO account.
- On the left panel, go to Expenses.
- Click on Vendors. Then, click Prepare 1099s.

Afterward, you can follow this article for detailed guidance in filing a 1099 in QBO.
Furthermore, you can export your reports to obtain a copy or use them outside of QuickBooks. For complete guidelines, refer to this article: Export your reports to Excel from QBO.
By following these steps, you should be able to complete filing your documents and export them outside of QuickBooks, Stephanie. If you encounter challenges, don't hesitate to reply. We're here to provide your needs anytime.
