Question

Removing 1099 preference from accounts

  • October 8, 2018

I want to change our chart of accounts and want to remove some accounts from being a sub-account.

 

When I uncheck the box for subaccount in editing an account I am told I have to take the 1099 preference of the account.

 

Going into the Edit/Preferences/Tax 1099 to remove the account from this 1099-reporting, I am not able to remove the accounts. I even tried to click Do not report 1099's but nothing  works.

Please help!

 

Thanks!

    Pleased to see you here in the Community, @Double Hung.

     

    I'm here to help remove a sub-account in your Chart of Accounts associated in the 1099 Preferences in QuickBooks.

     

    To delete or remove the accounts association in the 1099 Preferences, here's how:

     

    1. Click the Edit menu at the top.
    2. Select Preferences on the drop-down
    3. Choose Tax: 1099 on the left pane.
    4. Go to Company Preferences tab.
    5. Under “If you want to map your account to boxes on Form 1099-MISC” , choose Click here.
    6. Look for the sub-account that you need to remove.
    7. Click the drop-down and select Omit this payment from 1099.
    8. Once done, select Save and Close.

     

    You can also refer to this article for more information: QuickBooks 1099 Wizard.

     

    After that, go back to your Chart of Accounts and you should be able to remove that sub-account.

     

    That'll do it! If you're getting the same issue, please let me know by leaving a comment below. You can do that by clicking the Reply button. I'm always here whenever you need help.

    I have an account that is mapped to an 1099-NEC that should be 1099-MISC.  Quickbooks won't let me change the mapping at all.  I can't remove it or change it.  I've followed the directions above and it's not working for me.

    Hello there, @TOV. 

    I see you've spent time and effort remapping the new NEC 1099s.

    Since the issue is only happening to one of your clients, we can run the Verify and Rebuild Data within the company file to see if this is a specific issue to that file. This also provides information on how we can fix other problems in QBDT.

     

    1. Go to the File menu.
    2. Select Utilities.
    3. Click Verify Data. Then, select OK to close all windows.
    4. Then, go back to the File menu.
    5. Select Rebuild Data under Utilities.
    6. QuickBooks will ask you to make a backup before rebuilding your company file, select OK.
    7. Once the rebuild is done, click OK.

    To gather more details about filing and printing forms, we can visit these articles:

     

     

    Feel free to comment below if you have any concerns with mapping accounts and with your 1099's forms. I'm here to help.

    Hey @Double Hung,

     

    Have you used the 1099 account in the past to file forms? Are you trying to completely remove the account or no longer make it a subaccount?

     

    In addition to unchecking the "subaccount" box, have you also changed the name so it doesn't repeat the name of the parent account?
