1099

Welcome to the Community space, @kingdawg.

I'm here to help you achieve your goal. If a 1099 contractor is missing from the list when you start to create your 1099s, it could be because they're not active or marked as eligible for a 1099.

When creating a 1099s, ensure that you're paying contractors from the right expense accounts you mapped to report 1099 transactions.

Once the amounts are off, we'll need to review the payment transactions and accounts associated with the contractor. Here's how:

1. In the left panel select Reports.
2. In the search bar enter Transaction list, then select Transaction List by Vendor.
3. In the upper right corner click Customize.
4. Set the Report period at Last Year (or Last Calendar Year).
5. In the Rows/Columns section. Select the Change columns link then put a checkmark on the Split box.
6. In the Filter section, check the Vendor box, and in the dropdown, choose 1099 vendors who are in question.
7. Select Run report.
8. In the Splits column, review what accounts the vendor's transactions were tied to. If the word "SPLIT" show, choose the transaction to view the details of the accounts that were affected. If it is a Bill Payment, access the Bill to see what expense accounts were affected.

If you need additional assistance with preparing 1099s, never hesitate to post again or reply to this thread. I'll be happy to lend a hand. Take care and have a great day!

Thank you.  I tried your recommendation, but the problem is that the two accounts: Consultant and Contractor aren't mapped to the 1099 transaction report.  The vendors that are paid in this expense classification are marked for "tracking for 1099"

I don't have a 1099 Wizard or any tools I can find to map accounts to anything.  Jeff

Thanks for coming back to the thread, Kingdawg.

I'll share some guidelines that could help you. First, Quickbooks Online has a 1099 Wizard that's free to use if you're on the payroll. And if not, there's a filing service fee.

Next, you'll want to check the account mapping for vendor payments in the 1099 Wizard. Here's how:

1. Go to Expenses and select Vendors at the top. 
2. Click on Prepare 1099s at the top-right corner. 
3. If this is your first time using the 1099 Wizard, click the "Let's get started" button. Otherwise, click on the "Continue your 1099s" button. 
4. You'll see the Review your company info page first. Confirm your details and click Next. 
5. The next page is where you can check the account mapping.
