It wouldn't allow me to check the box next to vendor name as long as the error was showing.

But I figured it out! The tax ID in vendor details must include the dash in the number, eg. xx-xxxxxxx. That's pretty annoying. Thanks for your time.

Thank you so much for this! I have been trying to figure this out for the past hour. 

Geez!  Thank you SOOOOO much!  I couldn't figure out why it was not accepting the change from business to individual.  I been at for over 2 hours myself.

I have spent days and hours with the QB support staff in trying to complete a 1099 for one employee.  I am issuing him a 1099 from a second business.  His first went through just fine.  All other employees on the second business had no issues in theirs going through.  Today (5 hours of support later) I was told you can't send the same employee a 1099 from a different business.  That makes no sense.  Please help!  Thanks!

I'm here to provide additional information about this, Charm. 

The possible cause is you might have tried filing Form 1099 from your other business from your QuickBooks Online (QBO). Please note we only allow one business per QBO subscription. 

On the other hand, yes, we can send another 1099 in QBO. However, if you want to file a 1099 for a separate business, we have to log in to that company and follow the same steps. 

I'll add this guide for more info: Create and file 1099s using QuickBooks Online. 

In addition, you can browse this article to learn how to make corrections to 1099-NEC or 1099-MISC forms after you e-filed them: Correct or change 1099s in QuickBooks. 

I'm still all ears for any 1099-related questions. Take care! 

Thank you Erika. I'm not sure this is the reason for it not passing through.  The other 1099's on the list did go through  just not this one individual person.  Earlier today, I went back through after reading suggestions on here and found a report that shows all 3 were reported so lots of conflicting information.  I was told there was an internal issue (last week), given a case number.  Followed up today and was told the case was closed.  Stayed on hold another hour + while waiting for someone in the back to say he got one from another company and therefore not from this one.  Makes no sense.  Any help is appreciated

I understand the hurdle you have been through, and this is not what we want you to experience, Charm.

I have searched for any related investigations but found none similar to yours. To ensure we are on the same page. Did you receive any error messages while filling out the 1099 form? Or have you tried troubleshooting your browser? If not, let's take some steps to troubleshoot your browser and check if that has anything to do with the issue.
 

Open your QBO in an incognito or private browser; here's how:

• Ctrl + Shift + N  for Google Chrome
• Ctrl + Shift + P for Firefox
• Control + Option +P for Safari

Once you log in using an incognito or private browser, go ahead and resubmit the 1099 of your employee. If the submission goes through without issues, I recommend clearing your browser's cache and cookies. This can help fix problems caused by outdated or corrupted data stored in your browser. If clearing your cache and cookies doesn't work, try using a different browser. Some popular options include Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. Remember that other browsers use various rendering engines and may handle websites or applications differently. Switching to a different browser may help you identify and fix the problem.
