Quickbooks Online won't Print dba on 1099 NEC

I can't get Quickbooks Online to print the vendor dba on 1099 NEC. The dba shows on the 1099 summary sheet but will not print on the 1099 NEC form. Why? How do I fix this?

I want to ensure you're able to print DBA in 1099 NEC, @Monkey23.

 

In QuickBooks Online (QBO), we can add the DBA in the business name section. This way, the DBA will print in the 1099 NEC.

 

See the sample screenshot below for your reference:

I've attached articles on how to check the exclude payments, modify the chart of accounts for 1099 filing, and other topics:

I do not have the vendors set up in Payroll so this answer doesn't help. They are set up as vendors in accounts payable. The vendor name and company name fields are populated in the vendor record so they should pull through to the 1099 form as they have always done in previous years. I just ended up printing the forms without the dba.

Your answer doesn't help someone who is operating as a dba. Ex. John Doe dba Doe's Cleaning Service. Per the instructions on the screen, the BUSINESS designation should only be selected if the contractor files taxes using an EIN / TIN.  If the contractor files under social security number, there is no way to put that into the information page under BUSINESS.  So, there should be a way to have the 1099s print as :

John Doe

dba Doe's Cleaning Service.

 

We need 1099 to show this information for our own business purposes.

I’m chiming in here to share additional insights with you, @mfis.

 

First off, I appreciate the amount of effort that you’ve done, so far. Printing the vendor’s name, company name, and social security number on the 1099-Nec is unavailable as of the moment. Only one recipient's name is considered in the form. The system will read and print the vendor's name as the company name when you enter it in their profile.

 

For the meanwhile, you can consider removing the vendor name to show the company name on the 1099-NEC form. Then, reenter it once done preparing and filing the form.

 

To begin, here’s how:

 

  1. Go to the Vendors menu, then select each vendor that isn’t showing the company name.
  2. Click the Edit button.
  3. Remove the name of the vendor, then click Save.

 

For visual reference, you can refer on the screenshot below.

Once you’re done, prepare your 1099-NEC again and verify if the company name is already showing. After preparing the form, you can re-enter the vendor’s name on their profile.

 

If issue persist. You can consider contacting our QuickBooks Support Team. This will allow them to analyze the situation further and suggest extra troubleshooting procedures to resolve it.

 

Additionally, I’ll be adding these articles for more information about how to modify your chart of accounts for your 1099-MISC and 1099-Nec filing and Understanding which payments are excluded from a 1099-NEC and 1099-Misc.
