Why does quickbooks always get my name/business name wrong?? Now my 1099 are messed up! Please help! Supposed to be my name then biz name on second line! Every time!

I am a single owner LLC therefore IRS treats me as a disregarded entity. I have always been instructed to use MY NAME on line one and the Trade name on line two. This wasn’t even an option when reviewing the data for 1099! I’m so stressed!

Hey there, @ehpva21.

 

This isn't the kind of service we'd want you to experience in the program. 

 

The data that populates in your 1099 forms depends on the info that you've set up in the system.

 

If you e-file your 1099-NEC or 1099-MISC with us and need necessary corrections, I'd suggest getting in touch with our QuickBooks Team. They can review your account and help in correcting your tax forms. Here's how to connect with them:

 

  1. Go to Help (?), then click Contact Us.
  2. Please enter your question and select Let's talk.
  3. Review and Select from the following: Have us call you or Chat with us.

 

You can also see Fix rejected 1099 forms to learn how to submit your 1099s again. For additional info, please check out this article: Correct or change 1099s in QuickBooks.

 

Moreover, you can visit this link to learn more about the 1099 forms: Get answers to your 1099 questions.

 

If you need further assistance with your 1099s, please reply below, and I will be happy to help you.

@ReymondO thanks! It says they were accepted, just now I am confused because I have never submitted them without the business name. Do they need to be corrected??

Thanks for your prompt reply, @ehpva21.

 

I'll chime in on this thread and add some details about 1099 forms in QuickBooks Online.

 

It's good to know that your 1099s were accepted. As provided by my peer above, you can make necessary corrections if you've e-filed with us since the information in the form is incorrect. For now, we're unable to provide an official procedure for the amendment process. However, you can get in touch with our Customer Care Support Team so they can guide you through the detailed steps.

 

For future reference, check out our guide on printing 1099s in QuickBooks Online for more information: Print your 1099 and 1096 forms.

 

If you have any other questions about tax forms, please feel free to leave a comment below. I'll get back here as soon as possible to help you again.
