I think it may be due to the "administrative" expense used for their bills. How do I correct this?

Hello there, @accounting-gateb. I'm here to help you get all your contractors shown on your 1099 report in QuickBooks.

 

There are a few reasons a contractor won't appear on the report, and we'll go through them to see which one applies to your scenario, so we can resolve it.

 

First, you'll want to check if the Track payments for 1099 box is ticked in their profile.

 

 

Secondly, if you paid your contractors with a credit card, debit card, gift card, or PayPal, they will not be reported since the merchant will report them on a 1099-K form.

 

Third, if the accounts you used on your vendor transactions are not mapped for 1099, the transactions will not appear on the report. This includes the accounts you used on your items. Here's how to map them:

  1. Go to Expenses and click the Prepare 1099 button in the upper right-hand corner.
  2. Set up your company information and click Next.
  3. Place a checkmark in Box 7: Nonemployee Compensation checkbox.
  4. In the drop list, select all the accounts you used in all your contractor transactions.
  5. Click Next and click on Finish Later to finish the setup.
