Cleaning expense that’s not taxed or 1099

You can add them as a vendor, and make sure to leave the Track payments for the 1099 box unchecked during the setup process, joshpanecki. Let me provide you with some guidance on how to add them effectively.

You'll want to go to the Expenses menu to add the cleaner in QuickBooks. If you pay them less than $600 in a calendar year, you are not required to file a Form 1099-NEC with the IRS.

Here's how:

1. Go to the Expenses menu and choose Vendors.
2. Click New Vendor.
   
3. Complete the fields in the Vendor information window.
4. In the Additional info column ensure not to check the Track payments for 1099 box.
5. Once done, click Save.
