Buy nowHi! Does anyone know how to unmask vendors EIN/SSN for the 1099 summary report?
When I run the report all of the EIN/SSN are masked. I want to be able to see my own EIN as well as all of the vendors... Is it something in my settings that needs changed to allow for this?
Thank you for reaching out to the Community, areaver. I'm here to provide you the steps to view your contractors EIN/SSN.
Please know that the 1099 Contractor Balance Summary report in QuickBooks Online only displays the total transactions for each of your vendors. Additionally, the summary report or 1099 information Sheet that you'll see when preparing the tax forms, only shows that last four digits of their tax identification number.
To get a detailed view of your vendor's Tax ID, you can pull up the the Vendor Contact List Report and change it to Classic view. This report offers comprehensive details about each vendor. I'll guide you how:
Note, make sure customize the Vendor Contact list Report you can add the column for Track 1099 for more detailed report. Here's how:

Thank you, but I am talking about a different report.
When you go in to prepare 1099 forms and choose to do it yourself, you can print a summary report with your company information and all of the vendors with their addresses, tax ID numbers, and total amount to be reported on 1099s. In prior years, the tax IDs were never masked and now they are. Is there a way to remove the mask?
Thank you for your response, but I actually am talking about a different report.
When you go into the 1099 filing, you can choose to prepare them yourself. When you go through all of the steps of choosing the account and making sure the appropriate vendors are accounted for, there is an option to print a 1099 summary. This includes your company's information, as well as the information for all of the current 1099 vendors receiving a 1099 with the tax ID, address, and amounts. In previous years, the tax ID was never masked for your company or your vendors. This year they are masked, and I was wondering if there is a way to allow the summary to print without masking the IDs.
Please let me know!
Hello areaver,
Thank you for sharing that. Just to clarify when you are running the report are you using Classic View or Modern? Knowing this will aid as we work through this.
I am looking forward to your reply. See you soon.
It only gives you one view in a different tab when you select it. I'm not running a report out of the actual reports section.
Thanks for updating us in the thread, Areaver. I'd be happy to provide you with the steps for printing your 1099 form without masking the tax ID.
When filing the 1099s in QuickBooks Online, you'll have an option to print it manually and the system will provide you a code sent to the phone number associated with your account. Once you enter the code it will be routed to another tab showing the information that's not masked.
Here's how:
Once you've viewed your form on the other tab, you can click CTRL+P on your keyboard to print it.
Furthermore, you can refer to this article for additional steps in preparing your 1099 in QBO.

This is very inconvenient and not at all a better way to use this feature in QBO. I feel that this is trying to force everyone to file through QB. The only way to view the EIN/SSN is to actually print the 1099's. We want the summary to show the full IDs
I just discovered these were masked as well when trying to prepare 1099s for a client. Hoping to hear from someone who has figured out a way to not have them masked.
While the option to unmask the vendor's EIN or SSN is unavailable, I'll take note of this as a suggestion and help you submit it as a feature request to our product developers.
At the moment, you can submit feedback to our Product Development team. This will allow them to potentially incorporate this feature in future updates. Here's how:
If you pay contractors via cash, check, or direct deposit, you are required to file 1099s with the IRS and relevant state authorities, please refer to this link: Create and file 1099s with QuickBooks Online.
For future guidance on correcting your 1099s after you e-filed them, take a look at this article: Correct or change 1099s in QuickBooks.

This is bull shi!. I have printed this report for our CPA every year for them to prepare the 1099s! Now I can’t use this report! Or I have to print it out and manually write down the tax ID numbers from each vendor record. QuickBooks you have royally f’d this up. I need this functionality back like today!
