I paid a contractor by check once in 2023 but did not input that payment into Payroll Core. How do I enter that amount now and generate a 1099-NEC for the contractor?

I paid a contractor by check once in 2023 but did not input that payment into Payroll Core. How do I enter that amount now and generate a 1099-NEC for the contractor?

I'd like to thank you for coming to our Community page, @cjcote5. With this insight that I am about to share with you, it will save you time.

 

I'd recommend inputting it as a regular check and then making sure the payment method is check that way it won't be excluded in the 1099 report. Furthermore, if you already meet the threshold for an annual check then that payment will not be part of the 1099 report.

 

Additionally, you can refer to this article when dealing with adding a contractor or changing an amount when you create your 1099s in QuickBooks Online: Troubleshoot missing contractors or wrong amounts on 1099s.

 

If you have more questions on dealing with payroll, don't hesitate to come back. I'm always around to help!
