Is it possible in QB Online to switch a miscategorized Vendor to a Contractor?

I appreciate you visiting here in the forum, todd.

 

I'll share information about switching vendors to a contractor.

 

In QuickBooks Online, contractors can be set up as a vendor. Hence, you don't need to switch them. Instead, you can track payments for 1099 if you want to display them on the Contractors page.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Select Expenses on the left pane.
  2. Choose the Vendors tab.
  3. Look for the vendor and click on it, then Edit.
  4. Scroll down to the Additional info section on the vendor's information page.
  5. Tick the box for Track payments for 1099.
  6. Click on Save to keep the changes.

 

Once done, you can now review the vendor on the Contractors page from the Payroll tab.

 

On the other hand, you might want to review these resources to help you add independent contractors and prepare 1099s:

 

 

Feel free to update me in the thread if you have additional questions about managing your vendors/contractors or other related concerns in QuickBooks Online. I'm always here to help.
