I started using QBO mid year. How do I input vendor history totals so the current year 1099 includes this history?!

Hello there, @jeffstmc.

We appreciate you choosing QuickBooks Online in managing your business. I can help you input your vendor history totals to include them on this year's 1099.

First, let's verify if your vendors are set up and tracked for 1099, here's how:

1. Click Expenses.
2. Choose the Vendors tab.
3. Click the name of the vendor.
4. Click Edit.
5. Make sure to put a check mark on the Track payments for 1099 box.
6. Update other information.
7. Click Save.

After that, you can manually enter their transactions with the correct dates:

1. Click the Plus icon.
2. Under Vendors, select the desired transaction.
3. Enter the important details.
4. Click Save and close.

Just a reminder that credit card transactions are not tracked for 1099.

That should help you prepare and file 1099s in QuickBooks Online with ease. I also have here some useful articles that you might want to check:

Keep me posted if you have other questions. I'd be happy to provide additional help. Have a wonderful day.

My fiscal year starts 09/01/18.  I want to capture vendor 1099 history of payments made prior to using QBO as of 09/01 so when I print 1099s, they include totals from 01/01 - 08/31.  They are not current transactions.  I just don't see how to enter the past payments so 1099s are accurate for the entire year.  Perhaps my first question was not clear enough.  Thanks in advance for assistance.
