Hi there, calinfonet. We can adjust your closing date to allow you to enter contractor payments for the closed period, enabling you to file Form 1099 with the IRS.
Since 1099s are based on payment date, the information must be recorded in the year the money left your hand.
Here's how to adjust your closing date:
- Sign in to QuickBooks Online (QBO) as a primary admin or company admin. Only admins can make these changes.
- Go to Settings, then select Account and Settings.
- Select the Advanced tab.
- Click Edit in the Accounting section.
- Change the Closing date. Note: To change your password, enter a new password and confirm it.
- Select Save, then Done.
After adjusting the closing date, create a backdated check to pay your contractor. Then, close your books to prevent any changes to your past transactions.
When you're ready to prepare your 1099s with QBO, you may want to check out this article as your guide: Create and file 1099s with QuickBooks Online.
