How do you get your vendor that was paid $725 to show up for a 1099?

Thanks for joining us here in the Community, @customraingutter.

You can consider a vendor as a 1099 filer if you paid him $600 or more in cash or checks in the year. However, to confirm if the vendor meets the IRS guidelines to be set as an independent contractor, I recommend consulting your accountant.

Once verified, you can start adding your vendor for 1099. 

Here’s what you’ll need to do:

1. Click Workers tab from the left menu.
2. Go to Contractors tab and click Prepare 1099s button in the vendor list section.
3. Click on Let’s get started or Continue your 1099s (if you’ve been here before).
4. Review your company info, once done click Next.
5. Assign your vendor payments to categories defined by the IRS and then click Next.
6. In the Review your contractors’ info page, click on Edit link under the Action column.
7. Choose the contractor type and enter your vendors information.
8. Hit on Save.

To give you more details about this process, please see these links below:

Let me know if you have any other questions. I'm always up for assistance. Have a good night!

@customraingutter 

the contractor record has to be check marked as eligible for the 1099
the expense account you use to pay the contractor has to be mapped to block 7 of the 1099
only cash and check payments are reportable by your company
a bill must be paid to count for this year, 1099 reporting is cash based
