Looks like QB has no intention of resolving this for tax year 2020 (Jan 31, 2021 for us to file). I just played with a 2019 1099-MISC, and if you change your Box 7 people to Box 3, it seems to line up with the 1099-NEC Box 1 -which is where they need to be reported. I haven't yet received a 2020 1099-MISC so don't know if there are changes on that form vs the 2019 version. If you file by paper, just xerox the current form and see how things line up and test print it. That's what I did.
