Question

Why is the 1099 report missing vendor payments?

When running the "Prepare 1099s" report, vendor data is missing. Vendors have the "Track payments for 1099" checkbox checked. Vendor bills charge expenses to a general ledger account selected in the list of accounts for Non-employee compensation. Vendors are paid via a U.S. bank checking account. Missing payments were made via paper check and/or Direct Deposit. None of the missing payments were made by credit card, debit card, or PayPal. Why is the 1099 report missing payments to vendors?

Let's perform some troubleshooting steps to show all the vendor payments in the 1099 report, finance-themarsh.

 

I appreciate you for performing some solutions to get this sorted out. You are doing a great job in checking if the Track payments for 1099 box is ticked in their profile. Also, using a different method like check or expense is the best thing to do if you paid your contractors with a credit card, debit card, gift card, or PayPal through your Payroll product account.

 

If the accounts you used on your vendor transactions are not mapped for 1099, then the transactions will not show 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's 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.

 

Then, try running your 1099 report after checking and correcting your records. If the same thing happens, we can try signing in to QuickBooks Online (QBO) using a private or incognito window. This mode doesn't use the existing cache data and helps us confirm browser-related issues. Here's how:

  • For Google Chrome browser: Ctrl + Shift + N
  • For Mozilla Firefox browser: Ctrl + Shift + P
  • For Safari browser: Command + Option + P

 

If it works, go back to your regular browser and clear the cache to delete those temporarily stored files and browsing history. Web-based platforms like QBO collect cache files (cookies) to save you time, but this can impact processes and cause them to not work. You can also use other supported, up-to-date browsers to roll out the possibility of a browser-related issue.

 

I've got some resources that you might need for additional information about managing 1099s on your account: 

 

I'd like to know how you get on after trying the steps, as I want to ensure this is resolved for you. Feel free to reply to this post and I'll get back to you. You have a good one.

Thanks for your reply.

 

"using a different method like check or expense" is not necessary as the problem vendors were not paid with debit, credit, or gift cards or PayPal as noted in the original question.

 

Also noted in the original question is that the accounts used for 1099 reporting match the accounts used on the vendor bills.

 

I did open a Chrome browser, cleared history for all time.

 

After that, I opened an Chrome incognito window, and went into the Expenditures > Vendors, clicked on "Prepare 1099s", went to step 4 and the example vendor is not in the list "1099 contractors that meet threshold" (which they do), nor are they in the list "1099 contractors below threshold", nor are they on the "Contractors not marked for 1099" list.

Hi there, finance-themarsh.

 

Thank you for coming back to add some clarification on your issue about vendor's 1099. I also appreciate you for following the steps provided above to fix the problem.

 

If a 1099 contractor is missing from the list when you start to create your 1099s, it could be they're not active or marked as eligible for 1099. That said, I suggest making sure that your contractor is active and set up for 1099 tracking. To start with, select the Add from Vendor list button and select the appropriate vendor on the Review Your Contractor’s Info window once you're in the middle of creating 1099s.

 

Once done, make sure your payments to this contractor meet the threshold. That said, only those contractors you paid above the annual $600 cash threshold get 1099. To see additional information and to finish the process to fix the issue about 1099's data, you can click this article: Fix missing contractors or wrong amounts on 1099s. Please continue following the troubleshooting instructions until step three to make sure that you're able to fix the problem.

 

If the issue continues to occur, I suggest contacting our QuickBooks Support Team. They have the tools to pull up your account to see the cause of the issue.

 

Please refer to this article to see different information on what forms or boxes do you need to choose when filing 1099-NEC and 1099-MISC: Understanding payment categories for the 1099-MISC and 1099-NEC.

    Joining the thread to offer help and share details about your report, @Kelley13.

     

    Contractor payments made with credit cards, debit cards, third-party payment account systems will not be reported when you prepare your 1099 forms. These type of payments is reported on 1099-K forms and your financial institution or the company is responsible for filling them.

     

    Here's an article to read and learn more about the payments reported on your forms: Understand which Payments are Excluded from a 1099-NEC and 1099-MISC.

      No, Intuit broke the 1099 function. First you failed to create a format for printing the three-per-page form INTUIT SELLS. Then you did some kind of patch that eliminates 1099 vendors from NEC report. FAIL.

        THIS IS FOR QUICKBOOKS DESKTOP

        The Vendors that are set as a 1099 customer is not showing in the 1099 Summary or 1099 Detail Reports.

        What has changed? How can I rectify this. 

        Have been trying to get this done prior to the deadline, this is a roadblock for business!

        I had the same problem today.  Try changing the 1099 options at the top of the 1099 detail report.

         

        when I changed the option to “all allowed accounts” it worked for me.  (Not - Only 1099 account)
