I pay independent contractors through the contractors section on the payroll tab. They should be 1099 NEC contractors but when I go to prepare their 1099 it is showing up as Direct Sales (Box 2) rather than NEC payments (Box 1). How I map it so that when I run a report and subsequently file the taxes, it shows what was paid to them as NEC?
Hey there, TCEllieO323. Let's get the payments mapped to the right account.
To get this sorted out, ensure you're paying contractors from the right expense account and map them to report your 1099 transactions. Here's how:
For other troubleshooting steps in fixing 1099 issues, you can go through this article: Fix missing contractors or wrong amounts on 1099s.
Additionally, to know more about this process, here's an article for your reference: Create and file 1099s using QuickBooks Online. On the same link, you'll find the steps on how to E-file your 1099s as well as a guide on how to check the filing status.
If you need to file both the 1099-NEC and the 1099-MISC, you'll need to create a new expense account and transfer all the expenses for that Contractor from the old expense account to the new one for the purpose of mapping in 1099 NEC. This write-up will provide you more details about this: How to modify your chart of accounts for your 1099-MISC and 1099-NEC filing.
