Been on the phone with QuickBooks support for over an hour with no help.

 

I have 2 contractors that I have been paying through the contractor tab in quickbooks online. The payments have been categorized as payroll expenses.

 

I am trying to create 1099's for them and Quickbooks indicates that because I do not have these payments categorized as services that I don't need to issue 1099s. This is not true, I need to issue 1099's because services are being rendered. 

 

Which expense categories will register as services if I create a sub account underneath them? 

 

These payments are for our CDO and a developer.

Hello Alanajeffery,

 

Thank you for reaching out to the QuickBooks Community! I understand your frustration. I do have this article below that mentioned the different forms and boxes/categories you can choose for these 1099-MISC and 1099-NEC forms.

 

Please let me know if you have further questions. I will be around to assist. See you around.
