1099-MISC - adding 2nd line for Recipient's (DBA) Name

I'm trying to add a "DBA name" on a 1099-MISC, underneath the main company name. I'm printing from Quickbooks Pro 2018. I'd like the 1st line to be the the main vendor name, but then also have a 2nd line right under that with their DBA. It's only allowing one line of data for the business name. I've tried all kinds of variations, including populating the 'Vendor name' field with the company name and the 'Company Name' field with the DBA, but the 1099 still prints with only one of these lines - not both. Last year I was using a different version of Quickbooks and didn't have this problem. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Hello there, @clg3.

Thanks for dropping by the Community. I can help you add the DBA under the vendor's name for the Form 1099-MISC.

I replicated this on my end and found out that the information on the three name fields in QuickBooks populates the 1099-MISC Forms.

Here are the fields on your vendor’s profile:
• Vendor Name
• Company Name
• Full Name: First Name, Middle Initial, Last Name.

In order for the DBA to show under the name of the vendor, enter it on the Company Name field. Then, specify the Vendor Name on the Full name fields in QuickBooks.

I added screenshots for your reference.

Doing so will show the Full Name and the Company Name information on the 1099-MISC forms. For more details, take a look at this article: Set up a 1099 vendor and print forms.

That should do it. Please give this a try and let me know how it goes. I’ll be on a look out for your response.

This worked great but I'm still having trouble getting everything I need to print on the 1099. I have some vendors who have:

1 A company name or person's name

2 A DBA

3 A Factoring Company that I actually pay so the 1099 is mailed to the Factoring Company.

I tried putting the entire first and last (or the company name) in the "first name" field, the Factoring Company name in the "last name" field, and the DBA in the "company name" field. It worked on some of them but on others the factoring company name printed on the top line and then repeated it on the next line followed by the street address. I'm using Quick Books Premier 2019. I've never had this problem before. Prior to my update to 2019 I just put all the information in the "billed from" field and it printed exactly as it showed in that field. I've been working on this for two days. HELP!!

Hi there, LS10.

Since it worked on some of the 1099 forms, but not on the others, I suggest checking the setup of the vendor's profile to successfully print the 1099s.

Here's how:

1. Click the Vendors menu. Then select Vendors Center.

2. Select the Vendors tab.

3. Choose vendor and click it to open the Vendor's profile page.

4. Hit the Address Info section. From there, you'll have the option to edit the information.

Let's go over some steps to fix the issue after confirming that everything is correctly set up. Troubleshooting printing problems needs technical expertise as the setup on each printer is different. With this, I suggest contacting your IT person or the printer manufacturer if you need further support

Before you start troubleshooting, check the following:

Ensure QuickBooks is updated to the latest release.
Your computer is connected to the printer and that the printer software is installed.
For specific printing error messages, you may search the QuickBooks Support site for the exact error.

First, verify if your printer can print outside of QuickBooks using notepad.

1. Click Start. Then choose to Notepad.

2. Enter some text and then, select File.

3. Hit Print.

4. Choose the correct printer and select Print.

If its worked after following the steps above, please check this article and follow step 3. If not, please follow step 2 to check if you get the same thing: Resolve printing issues.

You may refer to this article on how to e-file your 1099-MISC forms instead of filing manually: 1099 E-File: QuickBooks Desktop setup, troubleshooting, & FAQs.

Please know that you're always welcome to post if you have any other concerns. Wishing you and your business continued success.

Please learn from this input.

@clg3

1099-misc is issued to the Person, as the Name. DBA is optional. That means you need to fill in First and Last Names. If you do this as part of setting up the vendor Name, just keep tabbing Out of a field, and fill in the next field, and Tab out = QB puts the data where it needs to be in edit Vendor and knows which data to use for the 1099-Misc.

Vendor name can be "My Deadbeat Brother." That Field is not part of 1099-Misc reporting.

I have attached the Help article image from the older QB Program, and this also shows the 1099, attached. Please view the attachment.
