How do i make sure my existing contractor is set up for QB to handle 1099 beginning for this year

We'll have to make sure each of your contractors is active and set up for 1099 tracking so QuickBooks Online (QBO) can handle your forms for this year (2024), Rogers. I'll guide you on how to do this below.

We can start by creating a vendor report to see which ones are set to track 1099s. Then, you can change their status if necessary. To do this, here's how:

1. Go to Reports, search for Vendor Contact List, and open the report.
2. Select Customize.
3. In the Rows/Columns section, select Change columns.
4. Select the Track 1099 checkbox.
5. In the Filters section, select Deleted and change the dropdown to All.
6. Click Run Report.
7. Select Sort, and under Sort by, choose Track 1099 to sort your contractors.

If you see a missing contractor, change their status to Active. Go to the Vendors page and select the Make active option under the Action column. Then, open their profile to mark the Track payments for 1099 checkbox. Here's how:

1. Go to Expenses and select Vendors.
2. Select the contractor, then click Edit.
3. Mark the Track payments for 1099 checkbox, then select Save.
