GlinetteC,

I appreciate the reply and hope you can make some headway on this because I see it often as an accountant with several clients.  With the proliferation of LLCs it has become an issue.  Single member LLCs must have the individual's name on the first line for name/TIN matching purposes per 1099 instructions but the Pay To vendor name is the LLC name which can be totally unrelated to the individual's name.  I also see this with rent 1099s since the landlords are often LLC's doing business under completely different names.  The LLC (if parnership which is common) name must go first so payee (DBA) name is left off. Seems to me QuickBooks accountant copy handled this?  I know longer have access to a version of it so I can't check. j For now I am only able to run the with the "legal" name that will pass the Name/TIN matching and I have to make a manual note on the client's copy re: the payee name.
