General Journal Entry showing up as unmapped in 1099-NEC

Let me share some insights into why your general journal entry appears unmapped in your 1099-NEC form, Stacy.

If you've entered a payment to a vendor as a Journal Entry, ensure to include the vendor name only on the Journal Entry line that contains the expense account or any other account that represents the reportable payment to the vendor.

If you include the vendor name on both the debit and credit lines, then both amounts will be picked up by the 1099 calculations and offset each other.

Once you've found a Journal Entry that should be included on the 1099, you'll need to map the account used by the amount that should be reported to a 1099 box.

Moreover, while creating 1099s, QuickBooks utilizes the expense accounts you've mapped to report 1099 transactions. You can review the contractor payment transactions and their associated accounts if your amounts need to be corrected.

Here's how:

1. Go to the Reports tab.
2. Type Transaction List in the search bar, then select Transaction List by Vendor.
3. Choose Customize.
4. Set the Report period to Last Year (or Last Calendar Year).
5. Navigate to the Rows/Columns section. Select the Change columns link, then tick the Split box.
6. Go to the Filter section.
7. Check the Vendor box, and select 1099 vendors in question from the dropdown.
8. Select Run report.
9. Look under the Splits column for what accounts the vendor's transactions were tied to. If you see the word "SPLIT," select the transaction to see details on what accounts were affected. Access the Bill to see what expense accounts were affected if this is a Bill Payment.

I have identified the transactions that are making the unmapped total but how do I get them to be mapped?

Thank you for joining the Community thread, Mark.

I'm here to share some insights and help you map the journal entries to the 1099 expense account for QuickBooks Desktop.

If you have previously recorded journal entries for expenses that should be included in 1099 reporting, you can reclassify those entries to the appropriate expense accounts that have been set up for 1099 tracking. This ensures that the expenses are properly recorded for 1099 reporting purposes.

To reclassify journal entries in QuickBooks Desktop, you can follow these steps:

1. Go to the Lists menu.
2. Choose Chart of Accounts.
3. Locate the account associated with the journal entry you want to reclassify and double-click on it.
4. In the account register, find the specific journal entry you want to reclassify and double-click on it to open the transaction.
5. Modify the account field in the transaction to select the appropriate 1099 expense account you want to map the journal entry to.
6. Then hit Save and Close.
