I know 1099 are not created for contractors below the threshold, but what if I want 1099s for contractors below the threshold? How can I included them when I e-file?

Hi there, @ blanca-jantex.

Only vendors you paid by cash or check will be reported with the threshold payments total of $600 or more. Vendors that paid from credit, debit, or gift card, and payment networks like PayPal, then these payments are excluded in the 1099 form.

Also, if the account used when entering the bill or paid the vendor is not mapped correctly, then they will not be posted in the vendor's 1099.

To better isolate this one, let's make sure that the contractor's payments and accounts are mapped correctly.

Here are the steps

1. On the Prepare 1099s page, click the Continue your 1099s button.
2. Then, click Next to go to the Account section, choose the box for the types of payments you made.
3. Then select the expense accounts you use for these payments.
4. Click Next until you finish preparing the 1099s.

If you're missing some vendor payments, please refer to this article to add them: Add or edit contractor payments (for 1099 filings). Then, go to the Review section to check the vendors' names eligible for 1099.
