We are a nonprofit art guild. Art work is on consignment. How do I setup artists to buy and sell a piece o art. they have to receive a 1099.

Welcome to the Community, @GCAGsc.

You can set up the artists as vendors in QuickBooks Online. The program tracks the payments to these consignors and once the amount reaches the $600 threshold, they'll receive a 1099.

Follow these steps to add them in QBO:

1. From the Expenses menu, select Vendors.
2. Click the New vendor button.
3. Enter the artist's details in the Vendor Information window.
4. Place a checkmark in the Track payments for 1099 box, then hit Save.

Check out this article for the details: Add contractors or vendors when preparing 1099s.

For consignment sales and payouts, I recommend visiting this link for reference: How to record consignment sales.
