Thanks for dropping by the Community. I see you want to process 1099 for your contractors. Allow me to share insight and guidelines that could help you achieve this, @jakofron.

 

If you used a credit card, debit card, gift card, or PayPal to pay your contractors, those payments won't be included in the 1099 calculations. The financial institution that processed the payments will report them, so you won't need to include them in your 1099 forms.

 

To locate the payment details, you should run the report for Excluded Payments by Vendor.

 

Here are the steps you can follow.

 

  1. Navigate to Payroll and pick Contractors.
  2. Click Prepare 1099s, then choose Let's Get Started or Continue your 1099s.
  3. Proceed to the Check that the payments add up window.

 

Take note of the column labeled Excluded. By selecting the total in this column, go to Excluded Payments by Vendor report, which provides transaction specifics. It will enable you to verify whether the payments should indeed be excluded.

 

Furthermore, you can review the following resources to help you prepare and submit of your 1099s. It ensures that you can submit them punctually.

 

 

By following these steps, you should be able to address the issue of setting contractors' 1099. If you have more questions about your tax rate, post them here in the forum. I'll be around to answer them. Stay safe!

This is not correct -  How does the credit card company know my contractors SSN or FEIN, thier address or Total amount paid for the year.  Who ever dreamed up this conclusion needs to go back and correct the software in Quickbooks.

 

so not correct answer

@SMARCHER62 The credit card company has all of that information because the contractor cannot accept credit card payments without providing it.  Please refer to the IRS instructions for 1099.

https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1099mec.pdf   Page 3-"Form 1099-K. Payments made with a credit card or payment card and certain other types of payments, including third-party network transactions, must be reported on Form 099-K by the payment settlement entity under section 6050W and are not subject to reporting on Form 1099-MISC.  See the separate Instructions for Form 1099-K."

If you report these payments, they will be double-reported.

@valprice1  Feel like a lot of people misunderstand and think it's their own merchant provider that'll issue the 1099-K rather than the contractors merchant provider.
