Question

Can I manually add a 1099 contractor to the 1099 report? She has $4,100 in compensation. Instead of receiving a check, we charged a trip for her. Advise?

Hi there, barb.

 

Yes, you can add a contractor to the 1099 report. We'll add trip as an expense. Here's how:

  1. To create a contractor
  2. Enter an expense

Then, let's go ahead and prepare the form 1099-MISC for this contractor. When mapping the accounts, make sure to select the box 7 for this expense. See the screenshot: 

We'll gladly help you if you have other questions about 1099 forms.

Have similar question -- Our contractor is already set up.  She receives commission on sales twice a month & 1099 at end of year. We have an education expense that was charged on our credit card that we want to add to her 1099. I did a journal entry and added her as a vendor in the name field.  Will this add the expense to her 1099?  Or do I need to enter this expense another way?

Nice to have you join this thread, @Kpeterson63.

 

I'd be glad to share with you some insights on how to efficiently track your contractor payment. 

 

You'll want to use Check or Expense in paying your contractor. This way, it'll be added to her 1099. Paying them through credit card (CC) isn't included as a payment type in tracking their 1099. Just make sure the account you used for the payment is selected when preparing 1099s. 

 

Once ready, you can follow these steps in paying your contractor:

 

  1. Go to the + New menu in your QuickBooks Online (QBO).
  2. Under Vendors, click Expense or Check.
  3. Enter the needed information, and select Save and close.

 

You can also check this link for more information about adding contractors and tracking their payments: Set up contractors and track them for 1099s in QuickBooks.

 

When you're ready to file their 1099, you can utilize this article that can guide you through the process: Create and file 1099s using QuickBooks Online.

We are not reimbursing the contractor for the expense as the expense was charged to the company credit card.  So if I use EXPENSE, use contractor as the payee, payment = credit card - will this show on her 1099?
