1099 account assignment

QBDT 2023 +

As I was going to add a new GL Account, I noticed that one of the inventory accounts, an equipment (Fixed Asset) account and some income accounts had a 1099 NEC identification. Since this obviously was incorrect, I tried to Edit the account to delete that identification, but that doesn't appear to be in the GL Account profile. How do I remove this so these accounts are not identified as being tied to the 1099 NEC?

1099 account assignment

Hello there, @DeadwoodAl. I'll be glad to guide you in removing the accounts that are being tied to 1099 NEC.

 

When preparing your Federal 1099, the accounts used for the 1099 are sourced from your Chart of Accounts. In your case, you can omit the accounts that are tied to 1099 NEC before adding a new GL account. To do so, follow the steps below:

 

  1. Open your QBDT file.
  2. Click on Edit, then Preferences.
  3. Tap on Tax: 1099, then go to the Company Preferences section.
  4. Choose Yes beside Do you file 1099 forms?
  5. Click on If you're ready to prepare your 1099s, including mapping accounts, you can do it here link to open the 1099 mapping.
  6. Hit Yes to confirm the action.
  7. Select Show all accounts from the dropdown menu.
  8. Look for your income accounts.
  9.  Set Omit these payments from 1099 under the Apply payments to this 1099 box.
  10. Click on Save and Close.

Once it's remove, you can now add a new GL account. For more details about the 1099 Wizard, see this article: Create and file 1099s with QuickBooks Desktop.

 

Additionally, I'll be sharing these links that will answer your questions about 1099 and how to print your forms:
