1099 Mapping and COA

Hi there, @1anngm.

I'll explain some information about mapping 1099 in QuickBooks Desktop. 

Currently, we're unable to undo or reverse the Report of all payments in box one on the vendor payments page. 

In the meantime, I'd suggest omitting the payments manually. This way, we can guarantee that the accounts are categorized accurately. 

I can see that having this feature can help your business needs. I'll make sure to take note of this idea.

You can also visit our QuickBooks Blog to review our enhancements. 

I've also added an article about handling 1099 accounts that might help you in the future: 1099 E-File: QuickBooks Desktop setup, troubleshooting, & FAQs. 

Don't hesitate to leave a comment below if you have other concerns. I'm here to help. Keep safe!

I do not have any vendors that should be reported on a 1099-NEC.  All mine are 1099-misc.  However, QB is putting all by rent payments under NEC.  I cannot figure out how to make these print to MISC.  Any suggestions?

Hi @Lbell9,

Thank you for taking the time to drop by here in the Community space. I can help you show the rent payments under 1099-MISC in QuickBooks Desktop.

For payments to show under 1099-MISC, you may need to adjust your accounts to track them separately. It's determined by which types of boxes you select for the types of payments you make to non-employees.

Correct the mapping of your chart of accounts for the 1099-MISC and reports. If you need to select other types of payments to report, you’ll need to adjust your accounts and payments.

It may be possible you've posted them to the same account if you've previously paid 1099-MISC and 1099-NEC contractors. You'll need to edit your chart of accounts to ensure separate accounts are available for each form.

Here's how to edit an account:

1. Click the List tab at the top menu bar.
2. Select Chart of Accounts.
3. Right-click on the account that you want to edit.
4. Select Edit Account.
5. Update the account details.
6. Select Save & Close.

Then, you can either create a journal entry to move amounts to show in the new 1099-MISC accounts or edit existing payments and correct the accounts.

If you're still unsure, check with your accountant if you think you might have made other types of payments. They can guide you further to ensure your books are accurate.
