Hello.

 

I'll help you get your contractors shown on your 1099 report. 

 

You mentioned that you tried everything suggested online; could you tell us what you did so far? Any information can assist us in determining the best course of action to resolve this issue.

 

There are certain requirements so that contractors will be included in the 1099 Transaction report. These are the following:

 

  1. Ensure the Track payments for 1099 checkbox is selected.
  2. Make sure you're using checks or bills to track 1099 payments.

 

I've got this article to guide you with 1099s in QuickBooks Online: Fix missing contractors or wrong amounts on 1099s.

 

Let's run some troubleshooting steps to fix it If everything is fine and they still aren't showing. You can start by accessing your account using an incognito window. Use these shortcut keys below:

 

  • Press Ctrl + Shift + P for Internet Explorer or Firefox.
  • Press Ctrl + Shift + N for Chrome.
  • Hold down Command + Shift + N for Safari.

 

If it fixed the issue, you can clear the cache on your web browser. This will refresh the system and remove out-of-date internet data causing this unexpected behavior. Alternatively, you can use different supported browsers.

 

 

In addition, you can review the resources below to assist you in preparing and filing your 1099s. This guarantees that you can file them on time:

None of the items you provided helped me. These are the same resources I found online and none of them worked. After hours of researching I discovered that the 1099-NEC threshold for Contractors who are categorized under Direct Sales is $5,000, not $600 like you website says. The $600 threshold is only for employee 1099 contractors. I wanted to my vendors to non-employee so they aren't categorized as Direct Sales and couldn't figure it out how to do it, so I called in and just spent 2 hours on the phone with a Quickbooks rep that couldn't help me figure out how to change it either.  

I am checking with my tax guy to verify the correct status that we should be listing employee independent contracted sales reps under to verify if they should be categorized as Direct Sales (box 2 on 1099-NEC form) or employee (box 1 1099-NEC form). At that point if I have to change all contractors from Direct Sales category I will take another stab at recategorizing all of their commissions to a different transaction category.

same issue- some non-employee comp. is showing as Direct sales and won't generate a 1099.  I don't know how to remove the direct sales classification.?
