Unmap 1099 box for Chart of Accounts in QuickBooks Accountant Online

I've got you instructions about unmapping accounts associated with your 1099 in QuickBooks Online Accountant (QBOA), @tlm59. This way, you'll get these accounts deleted to have a fresh start.

Before anything else, you'll want to consider moving your existing contractor payments to the new account to keep your records accurate. You can do so by creating a journal entry or by following the steps below:

1. Go to the Expenses menu and filter the transactions to narrow down the contractor's payment you need to edit.
2. Once located, let's select either View/Edit to go into the transaction.
3. From there, select the new account by drilling down the Category dropdown.

After that, let's go over your 1099 mapping to assign the new accounts to their designated boxes. To start, please proceed with the steps below:

1. Go to the Payroll menu and select Contractors. 
2. From there, tap the Prepare 1099s button to route you to the mapping section.
3. Verify your Company Information and TIN, then, click Confirm info and start filing.
4. Click the Delete icon under the Remove column to remove these accounts.
5. Hit the Select Accounts button in the right corner, select your new accounts, and assign them to 1099 boxes.
6. Lastly, click Next to trigger the system to record your changes. Then, close the window.
   

    

Once done, you can start making these accounts inactive in your Chart of Accounts (COA). Furthermore, you can run a 1099 Transaction Detail Report to validate the changes to your accounts. 

If you need further assistance with managing your accounts in QBOA, please do not hesitate to ask. I would be more than happy to provide any additional help you require. Take care!
