1099

Hello there, sbrawl. 

I've got steps to ensure that the contractors you paid for smoothly appear correctly when preparing 1099s in QuickBooks Online.

Once the contractors you set up in QuickBooks are missing or not showing accurately when you create your 1099s, it could be because they're not active or marked as eligible for a 1099. To verify this, I recommend running the 1099 report to see which vendors are set to track 1099s. Then, you can change their status from there.

Here's how:

1. Click the Reports menu on the left panel.
2. Search for Vendor Contact List and open the report.
3. Choose Customize.
4. From the Rows/Columns section, select Change columns.
5. Choose the Track 1099 checkbox.
6. In the Filters section, select Deleted and change the dropdown to All.
7. Click Run Report.

Once done, you can refer to this article for the rest of the steps you need to perform: Troubleshoot missing contractors or wrong amounts on 1099s. This also provides further troubleshooting steps to fix the issue.

In case you need details on which payments are not included on the 1099-MISC and 1099-NEC forms, you can read this article: Understand which payments are excluded from a 1099-NEC and 1099-MISC.

Feel free to comment below if you have further questions about filing 1099 in QuickBooks Online. I'm always here to help you sbrawl. Have a great day.

You need to manually select the expense accounts that you want to report on.  I had the same problem, no Vendors showed up in the tracked or untracked tab until I added the accounts in step one.  I just hope this will stick for next year.
