Generating 1099s is showing up blank for 2021 although nothing has changed and box is checked for vendor for 1099 and amount paid is greater than $600

Hi there, @kristenialaccicr.

It's good to have you again here in the Community. I'll help ensure all your contractors will show up when preparing 1099s in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

Since the vendor in question meets the threshold and the Track payments for 1099s box is checked, It's possible that the expense accounts used for this vendor are not properly mapped on the Step 2 Accounts section.

If you're unsure what specific expense accounts are associated with this vendor, we can run the Transaction List by Vendor report.

Here's how:

1. In QBO, go to the Reports menu at the left pane.
2. Type Transaction List in the search bar, then select Transaction List by Vendor.
3. Click Customize.
4. Set the Report period to Last Year (or Last Calendar Year).
5. Go to the Rows/Columns section. Tick the Change columns link and put a checkmark on the Split box.
6. Go to the Filter section.
7. Check the Vendor box and from the drop-down, choose 1099 vendors who are in question.
8. Hit Run report.
9. Look under the Splits column for what accounts the vendor's transactions were tied to. If you see the word "SPLIT," select the transaction to see details on what accounts were affected. If this is a Bill Payment, access the Bill to see what expense accounts were affected.

Once done, follow these steps to map the accounts:

1. Go to the Expenses menu at the left pane.
2. Proceed to the Vendors tab.
3. Click the Prepare 1099s or Continue 1099s option.
4. Review the information in the Company section and tick Next.
5. The Account section is where you will have to categorize accounts. Check Box 7 and select those necessary accounts.

Thanks! I've done all that and it's still not working - is it because the deadline has passed for filing for 2021?

Thanks for getting back to us, @kristenialaccicr. Allow me to chime in and help you with the 1099s in QuickBooks Online.

There are times that blank pages occurs when we encounter a browser-related issue. We can fix this by running some basic troubleshooting steps.

I suggest performing the steps through a private window. It's the best place to check browser-related issues while working with QuickBooks. To save you time, use either of these keyboard shortcuts:

• Google Chrome: Ctrl + Shift + N
• Safari 11 or newer: ⌘ + Shift + N
• Mozilla Firefox: Ctrl + Shift + P
• Microsoft Edge: Ctrl + Shift + P

 
If it works fine, you can go back to your original browser and clear its cache to start fresh. You can also use another supported and up-to-date browser to narrow down the result.

Then, check this link for some scenarios that may cause this issue: QuickBooks Online doesn't load correctly or has blank pages.

If issue persists, I recommend reviewing the setup and other related details of your 1099s.Furthermore, I've got these helpful resources for your guide:

I'll be around if you need further assistance about your payroll forms in QBO. I'm very eager to help. Take care! 

Still didn't work and can't waste any more time on it. Very disappointing! Thank you
