1099 Misc Box 17

How do I get the form to prefill the State with ID number to print when I do 1099 forms.  I live in Wisconsin so it is mandatory.  Thank you.

Hi @Lynndr1,

 

Currently, there isn't an option to automatically pre-fill your 1099 Misc forms with the State ID number.

 

With this, you'll have to manually enter them when you prepare and file your 1099 Misc form. Here's how:

  1. Go to Edit.
  2. Select Preferences.
  3. Choose Tax: 1099.
  4. Under the Company Preferences tab, select click here from the option asking If you're ready to prepare your 1099s.
  5. Click Get Started.
  6. Hit Continue.
  7. Choose whether you manually or electronically file your 1099s.
  8. Click Save & Close.

Once done, you can now prepare and file your 1099 Misc form including your state ID number.

 

For your reference, I've included a screenshot below and a guide in preparing and filing your 1099 Misc form.

 

 

Please let me know if you have any other questions about 1099s in the comment section below. I'll be always around to help you out.

    I understand there is no prefill for box 17, but how do I track employee state tax that I will withhold?

    Thank you for your help!

    So I add them as an employee and not a vendor?


    Hello there, @khite, 

     

    I'll share some insights about the differences between an employee and a vendor. 

     

    An employee is someone you pay with paychecks, withhold taxes, and give a W-2 form at the end of the year. He/she completes each of the following forms: 

     

    • I-9
    • W-4
    • State W-4 (if applicable)

     

    For more information, please read through this article: Employees Overview. You can also check out the IRS guidelines about an employee category. 

     

    On the other hand, a vendor is someone that you pay money to, such as utility, landlord or subcontractor, who does work for you. Please see this article for more details: Vendors Overview. 

     

    Before setting up a 1099 vendor in the program, please visit the IRS guidelines to see if your vendor falls under the Independent Contractor category. 

     

    This will get the information you need for today, @khite. 

     

    If I can be of further assistance, please let me know. I'll gladly help. Cheers!
