How can I run a report showing what I paid each contractor for the year?

That's easy, tiffanysoto2.  

You can pull up the 1099 Transaction Detail report to view transactions and total for each contractor and their account number, tax ID, with splits. Let me show you how:  

1. Go to Reports.
2. In the search field, enter and select 1099 Transaction Detail.
3. To add or remove columns and filters, just click the Customize button at the upper-right.
4. Then, click Run report to refresh.

You can also check out the Create a 1099 report for vendors and vendor payments article for more details.   

Keep me posted if there's anything else that you need help with. Take care!
