Creating a 1099NEC for contractor not setup as a vendor

Is there a way to create a 1099-NEC for contractor not setup as a vendor in quickbooks? It’s only one vendor that requires the 1099. Thank you.

Creating a 1099NEC for contractor not setup as a vendor

@Salessio0564  Sure; fill out the 1099-NEC by hand, fill out a 1096, and mail both in.

 

Otherwise, you may want to elaborate on why you don't want to set them up as a vendor in your system; in every case I'm aware of, that's what 1099-NEC workers are.

Creating a 1099NEC for contractor not setup as a vendor

FishingForAnswers is right, Salession0564. You can fill out the 1099 NEC manually if you haven’t set up your contractor as a vendor.

 

Although it's not required, it's a good idea to add vendors in QuickBooks and choose Track payments for 1099. This helps keep track of payments and makes it easier to fill out the 1099 form.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Expenses menu and choose Vendors.
  2. Choose New Vendor.
  3. Complete the fields in the Vendor information window.
  4. In the Additional info column ensure not to check the Track payments for 1099 box.
  5. Once done, click Save.
