Why is contractor showing up on the 1099 vendor list but is missing on the "check the payments" for 1099 contractors list?

Hi there, davido.

Welcome back to QuickBooks Community. I appreciate you for providing detailed information like confirming that the contractor was over $ 600 or those contractors you paid above the annual is $600 cash threshold. I suggest making sure that all needed details for the 1099 vendor are all set up properly.

Here's how:

1. Go to the Workers menu and select Contractors. Or select Expenses and then Vendors.
2. Select Prepare 1099s and then Let’s get started.
3. Make sure your company name and address, and your tax ID are correct.
4. Select the boxes (1-14) that represent the type of payments made to all of your contractors this year.
5. Then select boxes that represent the expense accounts where you track the payments. Hit Next.
6. Verify that all of your contractors show up and their personal info and email addresses are correct.
7. Review the payment totals for each box you selected in step 5.
8. Select Finish preparing 1099s.
9. Select Go to 1099 E-File Service to e-file your 1099s.

For additional information, you can refer to this article: Create and file 1099s using QuickBooks Online.

Thank you for the reply @ChristieAnn  . I followed all theses steps. All the information seems to be correct.

Before the "Check the payment page" is the "review contractors info" and 3 of them are correctly listed. On the "review the payments page" only one shows up. The second one does not show up because it was paid through debit card/square and I understand that. But the 3rd vendor was paid with check (over $ 600) and suddenly disappeared. I looked through the FAQ/troubleshoot page and can't find why the 3rd vendor payment does not show up at all. 

Hi davido,

You'll want to make sure you map the account of that check payment for 1099. Then, make sure the payment is within the last year as well. If these conditions are met, but you're still not seeing the vendor, please contact our Support team. They can use a screen-sharing tool to check this further.

1. Click on Help and enter something like missing 1099 vendor.
2. After getting search results, enter something like need human.
3. Choose from any topics, and select I still need a human.
4. Click Contact us and choose Chat or Get a callback. These options are available during their office hours: 6AM to 6PM PT on weekdays.

You can always go back to this thread if you have more questions.
