Is it possible to add payments made outside of Quickbooks to contractor 1099s from QB at the end of the year?

I am planning on subscribing to Quickbooks, and e-filing 1099s is a big selling point. I have however already made some payments to contractors without the use of Quickbooks. Is there a way to factor these payments into the 1099s QB sends? Additionally, can I use Quickbooks to send 1099s to any contractors that never received any payments via Quickbooks?

I can share some information about 1099s, ashleynichol. 

 

First, you'll need to set up your contractors as vendors. Once you've done that, any payments made through cash, check, or direct deposit will be automatically tracked and included in their 1099s.

 

You can add payments made outside QuickBooks Online (QBO) manually by recording an expense or writing a check to include them in their 1099s.

 

Here's an article that guides you with setting up contractors by entering their information manually or by emailing them to fill out the required details: Set up contractors and track them for 1099s. 

 

Then, here's how to prepare and file your Federal 1099s during tax time: Create and file 1099s with QuickBooks Contractor Payments
