Multiple Workers for the same Vendor

Hi there, @pcmason.

I'd be glad to help you check how to verify who are the vendors with the same Tax ID.

You may need to check the Vendor Contact List report to see who are the vendors with the same Tax ID number and confirm it from them. I'd be glad to show you the steps on how.

1. Go to the Reports menu.
2. Enter Vendor Contact List in the text box.
3. Click on the Customize button.
4. Go to the Rows/Columns section and check the box beside Tax ID.
5. Select Run report. I've added some screenshots for your additional reference:

After verifying the Tax ID number, you may now update with it with the correct one in their Vendor profile.

Once done, you can continue processing the 1099 forms. For more details, check out this article: Create and file 1099s using QuickBooks Online.

Let me know in the comment section if you need further assistance. I'd be happy to answer them for you. Have a great day.

Hi QB Team,

We have having multiple vendors (2 or 3) with same tax id number as its under the same business name.

When e filing the 1099's, quickbooks shows an error stating "Vendor A has the same tax id as Vendor B"

and its only proceeding to filing for one of the many vendors.

Please see attachment

Please suggest how to fix this error as the deadline is nearby

Welcome to the Community, @beyondmeals. Allow me to share some information about vendors having the same Tax ID number.

Usually, a given QuickBooks company represents a single business. Multiple contractors with the same tax ID are presently not permitted to use the Intuit 1099 E-File Service. The tax ID you enter for the vendor or contractor should be that person's tax ID, not the corporation paying them.

I'm adding this article as your reference to set up and track contractors' 1099s in QuickBooks: Set up contractors and track them for 1099s in QuickBooks.
