Contractors are not showing up in Tracked for 1099 or Not tracked for 1099, I have all their information entered in. How can I get them to show up in the list?

99Hello, stacyguthrie1.

Let me help you show the contractors/vendors in the list so you can track them in the 1099. Please review the vendors' transactions that are eligible for 1099 reporting. Ensure that the transactions meet the criteria for reporting, such as payments made via cash, check, or direct deposit, and exceed the minimum reporting threshold of $600. It is important to note that payments made by credit card, debit card, gift card, or a third-party network like PayPal are not included in the reporting requirements and will be automatically excluded by QuickBooks Online (QBO). To view the list of contractors/vendors, you can follow the steps below:

1. Click the Expenses, and choose Vendors.
2. Select the Vendor in the Vendor Details.
3. Tap Edit under Additional info, and mark check the Track payments for 1099.
4. Click Save.

Additionally, I've included these articles that'll help you learn more about preparing and filing 1099 forms in QuickBooks Online:

• What is a 1099, and do I need to file one?

Please keep me posted if you have any other concerns about the 1099. I want to make sure everything is taken care of for you. Have a great day!

All those steps are completed (I even tried to uncheck and re-check the box, they are still not showing up in my prepare 1099 tab. One contractor received a 1099 last year, but this year isn't showing up. 

I appreciate your efforts in completing the steps previously provided by my colleague, stacy.

I had this problem yesterday too.  I called the "Expert Customer Service" number that I pay extra for and spent 3 hours on the phone.  We eventually got it to work on one vendor but I couldn't even remember all of the things we tried in order to fix the next one. 

It happened on a vendor that I used the vendor search tool that QB has that automatically fills in the information if they are searchable.  It also sends a request to connect to the vendor.  All of their information is greyed out so you can't make any changes, which is the point.  But, if they don't connect with you, then you can't print checks because their address doesn't show up, which causes an issue for 1099's.  We didn't know this until later in the call.  If you are on the vendor screen there is something by the name that allows you to cancel the connection.  I truly don't remember all of it.

At some point, I was told I needed to change my COGS Equipment Rental account to an expense account  This made no sense to me because it has worked for the last 5 years just fine.  

I was told I needed to delete the address for the vendor, which made no sense because I need the address for the 1099.

While on the call, it was so noisy in the background and people were yelling and talking loud.  It was quite distracting, which I mentioned to the person I was talking too.

In the end, I still have no idea how to fix it.  The only fix I know of going forward is to NOT use the search function and manually input the information yourself or you will run into these issues.

Thanks for sharing this. I've advised my clients against using that function as I had a feeling something like that would happen. 

They can't even get the PDFs to regularly download from financial institutions. There's no way they're going to manage connections between users accurately.
