Did something change in QB that would exclude all vendors from my list for 1099s?

Hi @sydhamilton,

Thank you for posting here in the Community space. I'm here to assist you with your 1099 concern in QuickBooks Online.

There are no changes in QuickBooks that would exclude vendors from your 1099 list. I recommend performing some troubleshooting steps to isolate and figure out what's causing the problem.

You can review each affected vendor profile and ensure you've enabled the Track payments for 1099 box. Sometimes, this option gets overlooked and causes vendors to get excluded from the list.

Here's how:

1. On the left navigation bar, click Expenses.
2. Go to the Vendors tab.
3. Press the vendor name.
4. Select Edit.
5. Make sure the Track payments for 1099 box is checked.

Also, did you know you can set up contractors as vendors in the system? QuickBooks and QuickBooks Contractor Payments track all their related payments, so when you need to file their 1099s, you already have all their info. I've attached an article you can use for more information: Set up contractors and track them for 1099s.

I've been using QB online for awhile and have run my 1099s w/o issue before.  Spot checked the vendors to ensure the box is checked and they are...but when I run the report, the only ones showing up are the "rent" payments.

I have been using QB online for awhile and have used the 1099 vendor processes successfully.  This time, the only vendors showing up on the list are the "rent" payments.  Maybe I have a filter on that needs to be changed?

It's great to have you back in this thread, @sydhamilton. I'll share some information to ensure your vendor appears on the 1099 reports.

With QuickBooks Online (QBO), there are times that one of the contractors you set up is missing or is not showing correctly when you create your 1099s report. Please make your vendors active and eligible for 1099. 

Know that only those contractors you paid above the annual $600 cash threshold are eligible to get 1099. With that said, let's ensure you're paid your vendors from the appropriate expense account.

Here's how to verify them and review the contractor payment transactions associated with them:

1. Choose the Reports menu on the left panel.
2. Enter Transaction List in the search bar and select Transaction List by Vendor.
3. Click the Customize button.
4. Set the Report period to Last Year (or Last Calendar Year).
5. Go to the Rows/Columns section. Select the Change columns link, then put a checkmark on the Split box.
6. Go to the Filter section.
7. Check the Vendor box, and choose the 1099 vendors.
8. Choose Run report.
