QB Desktop 2019. I went in to run 1099 report. No vendors. Went to check mapping. There is no drop-down option for any 1099. Checked update. Updated. Tried creating new expense category, still no drop-down 1099 tax mapping option. So frustrated!
Hi there, @cat44magic.
I can help you with preparing your 1099 report on QuickBooks Desktop.
To get started, let's ensure that your vendors are eligible for 1099 so their names will be added to the list/report. Here's how:
When mapping the accounts, you can either choose to Show all accounts (all accounts from the chart of accounts) or Show 1099 accounts (only those accounts that were used on the transaction for 1099 vendors).
You can also re-sort to your chart of accounts to fix the odd behavior and makes your lists go back to their default order. You can open this link for your guide: Re-sort lists in QuickBooks Desktop.
Moreover, here's an article you can read more about preparing 1099s in QuickBooks Desktop.
You can also skim through the topics from our help articles for more resources while working with QuickBooks in the future.

Hi Angelyn,
Vendors are set up as 1099 vendors. When I try to map the "professional services" expense account to the 1099-nec tax line NO 1099 options are shown. None. I scrolled the list. I have done this before...successfully. This client is an s-corp. Could that make a difference? Shouldn't...they still need to issue 1099's. Very frustrating. Of course, serves me right for waiting. :-(
Thanks for getting back to us here, @cat44magic.
I have some additional steps to try to get your 1099 report working again. You'll want to run the QuickBooks File Doctor tool. This tool help fixes program-related issues such as no data populated on reports.
Here's how to get there.
After running the tool, restart your computer and pull up the report again. Learn more about the QuickBooks tools at this guide: Fix common problems and errors with the QuickBooks Desktop Tool Hub.

Some expense accounts are missing when I go to mapping 1099 accounts in preferences. I've confirmed the vendors are set up correctly and show on the 1099 summary - just have $0 when WELL over the statutory minimum. When I try to show "all accounts" vs "1099 accounts", it shows me a list that does not match my chart of accounts, so I cannot choose the correct account. The expense accounts do not show on the 1099 list either. Why would showing "all accounts" in the 1099 preferences not show my chart of accounts. It shows accounts I don't even have?
Thank you!

Let me share some insights why some expense accounts are missing mapping 1099 accounts in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT), @RHALL1.
The IRS requires that certain contractor payments should not be included on the 1099-MISC and 1099-NEC forms and are instead reported on the 1099-K form.
When mapping 1099s accounts in Preferences, you'll only view those expense accounts that you used to track payments to your vendors through check and expense transactions. You do not need to report payments you made electronically, such as by credit card, debit card, gift card, or PayPal payments. QBDT automatically excludes these for you.
To check, I'd recommend pulling up the 1099 Detail report and filtering the Payment Method. Here's how:
Once confirmed, you can go ahead and prepare and file your federal 1099s with QBDT: Create and file 1099s with QuickBooks Desktop.
Also, to learn more about 1099 boxes and view answers to the most frequently asked questions about the form, I would encourage you to go over these articles below:

Hi Rea, and thank you for your reply.
I ran the Vendor 1099 Detail with "1099 accounts" and "All allowed accounts". The 1099 accounts run did NOT include the rent expense account I had attempted to enter under Preferences. The all allowed accounts report DID show them. So, it definitely appears the accounts available to make 1099 MISC - rent are not showing up on my drop down to add. (These vendors were paid via checks and ACH's - no "pay method" was listed when I ran the All Allowed Accounts w/ that filter and showing that column. There were not paid via credit card, etc.)
I don't seem to be able to show my full chart of accounts or even the full 1099 accounts in the 1099 preferences, even thought they should be there, based on the 1099 detail report.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Becky
Hey RHALL1,
Thank you for reaching out to the QuickBooks Community! When there is missing information with 1099, sometimes it could be that something was set up incorrectly. No worries though, we have a few steps to assist with fixing missing vendors or information not showing correctly. This involves making sure contractors are active, your payments to the contractor meet the threshold, and you're paying contractors from the right expense account. This article highlight the process for QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Desktop. Follow these instructions and let me know if you are still having problems. My team and I will be here to assist you further, if anything. Take care for now!
Hi - I've done the steps described in the link
The issue is the ACCOUNT does not show up in the 1099 Preferences under 1099 Accounts or All Accounts. The two missing rent expense accounts DO show up when running Vendor reports under the appropriate vendor under the "All Accounts", but not the same report under "1099 Accounts", because I haven't been able to map them in Preferences as 1099 accounts because they don't show up to use.
Thanks,
Becky.
