Working with a client again to help her get all the tax ID #'s and addresses for 1099 clients. The client may have these, but identifying what data QB needs. I have a couple of ideas.

1. For reimbursements vs real payments, consider making 2 vendors, one for Jones - Repair Service and one for Jones - Reimbursement. That's how I do it, because I find it's much clearer, and one can have an many vendors as one wants. It would also help you with 1099's, since the reimburse vendor would not be checked off for 1099's. 

2. The 1099 report is buggy as all get out. First of all even though it says "ALL" boxes, it does not include the rent or attorney vendors. Second, it does not include addresses. That's what is needed (and what that astute Excel user was getting for herself). Third, when I try to remove columns I don't want the entire report goes blank. Any one else getting this bug?

3. Another work around. I actually printed a screen shot of the 1099 screen that clearly showed a few vendor missing address or account #'s, and am sending that to the client. It's pretty easy for a programmer to fix a report, so let's all send in feedback and hope they do it asap. 

Still checking this thread for other work arounds and good news.
