My quickbooks 2020 desktop version just updated. Now when I go to print 1099s the section where you assign the 1099 box has put all my accounts that I need to be box 1 as box 15. It is greyed out and I can't change it. Anyone else have this problem or is Quickbooks working on an update to fix this issue?

I did a restore from a back up.

I ended up using TurboTax to print them.

So, do you mean that when you click on a row in the table, you can't open the drop down to pick a different box? If so, that's weird.

That’s exactly what is happening. Never seen it before. I have been using quickbooks since 1996. This is the first year I have had any issues with 1099s. Before updating, I couldn’t print because they haven’t done an update for 2 forms to a page to 3 forms to a page. With this update, it now shows no vendors are eligible for a 1099 🙄

If you updated and the NEC eligible accounts are greyed out and say "Box 15: State tax withheld", here is how I resolved that issue.
Go thru the Print 1099's process again and select to Print 1009-MISC instead of 1099-NEC.

On the screen where you map accounts to boxes, set all accounts that should be 1099-NEC to "omit". These are the account that were greyed out previously. Save.

Now go back and print the 1099-NEC. It would let me change those accounts now.

Hope this helps.

This one should be marked SOLVED.

I guess the system doesn't allow you to have an account mapped for both the MISC and NEC so if it's already in the 1099-MISC mapping, omit it there and then it will let you correctly map for the NEC's

Thanks!

I have the same problem with my Pro desktop listing Box 15 instead of Box 1 for the 1099-NEC. How do I fix this?

Help is coming your way, Nort48.

You'll want to review the mapping of your 1099 NEC. When mapping the accounts, you can either choose to Show all accounts (all accounts from the chart of accounts) or Show 1099 accounts (only those accounts that were used on the transaction for 1099 vendors).

Here are some articles that will help you learn more about managing your 1099's:

However, if it still doesn't fix the issue, you can perform the Verify and Rebuild Data. This identifies the most common data issue within the company file and resolves it. To do this, follow the steps below:

Go to the File menu, then hover over Utilities and select Rebuild Data.
On the QuickBooks Information window, select OK. Follow the onscreen steps to save a backup.
Let the tool repair your file. It may take some time. QuickBooks may seem stuck, but as long as you can move your mouse, the tool is working.
When the tool finishes, select OK.
Go to the File menu. Then hover over Utilities and select Verify Data.

For more information, you can continue to the next solutions of this article if you're still having data issues: Fix Data Damage On your QuickBooks Desktop Company File.

Please let me know if you have follow-up concerns about 1099's. I'm right here to help you figure them out. Take care and stay safe.

I'm having the same problem. Since I updated to 2022 and applied critical fixes for the 3-up 1099-NEC, contract labor is locked on box 15 in the mapping section.

Look at Bookkeeper25's reply. It worked for me.

I am having the same problem and calling support didn't help either they eventually just hang up... BUT I found a work around! Exit out of the wizard for preparing 1099-NEC and start up the 1099 wizard again but choose 1099-MISC just leave all the vendors selected selected and advance to the mapping screen. Use the drop down to change from showing only 1099 account to showing all accounts then change all the accounts you need to map as NEC to "omit from 1099 mapping" here in the MISC screen. Then save and close. Start the process over with the 1099-NEC and once you get to the mapping screen check the box to map them all in box 1 and all the accounts that you'd changed to "omit..." in the MISC process should now be "Box 1 Non employee compensation. This worked for me, this year end season has been so frustrating with qb not working smoothly, I've never commented on any of these but dang this has been a pain!

I am having the exact same issue. 1099 NEC forms are printing as if I had chosen 1099 MISC. I am unable to change the mapping to Box 1 - It is greyed out and it cant be re-assigned in the mapping.

THIS IS A REALLY TERRIBLE PROBLEM, and I don't see INTUIT to be very concerned?

Hi @Kindra12. I can see how difficult this has been.

Allow me to share some details about the available workaround for you.

You may try downloading the QuickBooks Tool Hub. This tool's purpose is to automatically diagnose and fix common issues within the software which also worked for the other users.

Here's how:

Double-click the icon on your Windows desktop to open the tool hub after the installation.
Once the QuickBooks Tool Hub is open, select Program Problems.
Select Quick Fix my Program.
Start QuickBooks Desktop and open your data file.

I was having same issue. Contacted QB customer service. The account you are trying to use is mapped to the 1099 MISC form. Go through the steps like you are going to print 1099 MISC and remove the mapping for the required accounts, save and close. Go back to 1099 NEC and you should be able to map the accounts correctly.
