Creating 1099s with QuickBooks Online

Hi there, JulieShurley.

I understand that you're having difficulty finding the option to pull 1099s from the Salaries & Wages expense account.

To address this, we'll need to check if the expenses for the contractors are allocated to the correct expense accounts. In this case, you mentioned using the Salaries & Wages account. Ensure that the transactions are properly categorized to this account.

To determine the expense account used, we can run a transaction list report in QuickBooks Online that includes all 1099 vendors/contractors. Here's how:

1. Go to Reports.
2. Enter Transaction List in the search bar, then choose Transaction List by Vendor.
3. Hit Customize.
4. Set the Report period to Last Year (or Last Calendar Year).
5. Go to the Rows/Columns section. Select the Change columns link then put a checkmark on the Split box.
6. Go to the Filter section.
7. Check the Vendor box, and from the dropdown, choose 1099 vendors who are in question.
8. Select Run report.
9. Look under the Splits column for what accounts the vendor's transactions were tied to. If you see the word "SPLIT," select the transaction to see details on what accounts were affected. If this is a Bill Payment, access the Bill to see what expense accounts were affected.

I've also added the following articles as an additional resource for your1099 concerns:

• Understand payment categories for the 1099-MISC and 1099-NEC
• Correct or change 1099s in QuickBooks
• Troubleshoot missing contractors or wrong amounts on 1099s

Let me know if you still have questions or other concerns about 1099s. I'll be happy to help. Have a good one!
