How would you create a payroll/check/process payment for employees with no deductions and that will have to be given a 1099 at the end of the year?

Hi there, dianna.

Achieving your goal is our main task today. Since the employees you want to create a payroll have no deductions. We'll need to add them as contractors to process their payments and to ready their year-end 1099 filings.

Below are the simple steps to perform it:

1. Route your cursor to Payroll and choose Contractors.
2. Click Add a contractor.
3. Type in your contractor's info, or select the Email this contractor checkbox so they can fill it out.
4. Once done, select Add contractor.

Know that if you choose to send an email, you'll wait for the contractor to fill out their info. If you didn't choose it, you'll need to perform the steps below:

1. Select Add next to Personal details or Bank account and enter the contractor info.
2. When finished, select Save.

Once added through the payroll, they're automatically eligible for 1099s and will start to track all their payments. If filing for 1099s comes, you can add the tracked payments to the form.

Feel free to read these articles for more details:

• Set up contractors and track them for 1099s.
• Pay a contractor with direct deposit.

Thank you for this information.  I have a follow-up question.  The amount will not be over the threshold so will I still be able to have a 1099 generated manually through QuickBooks?

Let me help and provide clarifications about your 1099 concern, dianna-bethany-a.

The contractors should reach the $600 or more threshold to receive Form 1099-MISC. Also, QuickBooks Online can help you prepare your 1099s seamlessly, using the information you already have in your account.

Hello,

When I called I was told that you all will not help us make manual 1099's for what I needed. So I need confirmation if this is true or not.

I was given a different answer concerning this.  When I called I was told that you will NOT help in doing manual 1099's.  I need clarification if you all will help me to do this or not.

Hello there, @dianna-bethany-a. 

I'll provide further clarification about your 1099 concerns in QuickBooks Online (QBO), so you can manage and file your forms accordingly.

Based on your description of the issue, I can tell you're trying to file 1099 forms outside QBO. With this, I encourage you to reach out to the IRS directly to assist you with the process. Before doing so, you can pull up 1099 reports from the Reports menu, like 1099 Transaction Detail, for your reference.
